"The Supreme Court ruled against an Oakland marijuana distribution club two years ago, finding the federal drug law allows no exception for people to use pot to ease pain from cancer, AIDS or other illnesses."
"The Bush administration has asked the Supreme Court to settle the latest fight by agreeing that Washington has the power to revoke medical licenses of doctors who invoke state laws and recommend pot for their patients."
Does the Federal Government play a role in the issuance of a license to practice medicine? Anyone know the answer.
It would seem to me that if the Federal Government plays no role in the issuance of a license to pratice medicine then they should not be in a position to play a role in the revocation of that license.
If they do play a role then the Supreme Court may very well rule in favor of the Federal Government...particularly since they ruled in favor of the Federal Government in the previous case.
