This week, the US Supreme Court agreed to decide whether the federal government can prosecute sick people who smoke medical marijuana; 20,000 Oakland, CA, voters sign an initiative to place casual adult marijuana use as the lowest police priority; a federal judge in West Virginia reduces a man's sentence from 20 years to 1 year based on a recent Supreme Court ruling; Florida's Board of Elections produces another flawed list of felons to be purged from the voter roles; and South Carolina's attorney general refuses to press charges against police who conducted a heavy-handed drug raid on a high school last year.
