CALIFORNIA MEASURE :  A.B. No. 2279
AUTHOR(S) :  Mark Leno (Coauthors: Berg, Hancock, and Saldana).

AB 2279 aka "The Medical Cannabis Workers Rights Bill" would have amended the health and Safety code relating to medical marijuana. This bill would have saved the right to work for hundreds of thousands of Californians who can be fired because they are medical cannabis patients. In a state where medical cannabis use is as legal as the use of Vicodin or Valium, people with illnesses who choose the cannabis alternative should be encouraged to work, and not continue to face additional discriminatory actions. 
Terminated (Vetoed) by Governor Schwarzenegger 09/30/2008

Really, the propaganda machine is broken and continues to spews lies, half-truths and obfuscations while lives are being destroyed and society is repressed by senseless laws designed to harm rather than heal.

One day our brothers will awaken.  :sigh:

Wouldn't it be nice if we could handle drugs as a medical problem and keep the law out of the equation as much as possible?  Wouldn't it?  It certainly would be cheaper for our society.

...hey hey!...'pathetic doper like me' here...I didn't/don't advocate kids using drugs...cannabis or ritalin...I just found it odd that you were cheering for the kids getting criminal charges laid against them for a few plants...to me supporting kids getting saddled w/criminal charges for pot before they are old enough to drive or vote is pathetic and people who support that system are pathetic also...but hey!...we are obviously worlds apart on that...

I don't disagree, but I think calling people who simply smoke weed "pathetic dopers" is a pretty broad brush.  And unfair to boot.
