E=MC2, Just another of the unexplored dimensional boundaries we are too unexprienced to enter. Good Sunday chat people's. Hope to splatter a few words again soon. Later on friends.
So you quoted yourself, spouted trite bullshit, then called yourself friend. LOL Well that was weak sauce.

+ Rep you are just unstoppable today
In my, admittedly, cursory read of the article it appears they intimidated her family into letting them in without a warrant, sigh. I would have LOVED to have seen the prosecution of an 81 year old for 1 plant in court. Think of that publicity.

Unfortunately, the police didnt do anything illegal. That State allows mmj, but apparently you 1) need a license, and 2) can't grow your own, open in your yard. Like most mmj States.
She has glaucoma, arthritis and difficulty sleeping. She could easily get a card. Seems it would be easier to just get a card, have your son or daughter take you to a dispensary and purchase a bunch of weed. It's not that expensive.
She'd rather skirt the legal route and take her chances. Admirable, but hardly practical for someone who claims they need weed for a serious medical condition(s).
I'm pretty sure her 1 plant of civil disobedience is not going to change the law in Massachusetts.

Oh, yes it will; you clearly haven't considered her 'Rosa Parks' quotient.
Time will tell the truth of my words. It always does.

Nope. She's 81. Won't happen in her lifetime. According to her, she stubbornly refuses to get a card, and will attempt another grow, presumably next year.
So, despite having easy access to the "meds" she desperately needs, she will say fuck it, and try to grow another illegal plant in her yard that will be ready for harvest a year from now? However will she survive until then?
Please don't compare this granny, with legal access to weed . . . to Rosa Parks.

They both know where they stand with their civil rights better than you do, youngster.

Ok oldtimer, explain it to me

Rosa Parks stood up for her own rights, as did our dear old lady. That she 'could have gotten a permit' is absolutely no excuse for her constitutional rights to due process to be so casually violated.Ok oldtimer, explain it to me
I like you, by the way, and may not be as young as you think.
We HAVE our civil rights. Stop letting 'the authorities' snow you into thinking you must beg for them.

Trust me, I'm no fan of the authorities. But you will need to more fully explain how her "constitutional rights to due process" were violated. Please cite facts and law, allthewhile being mindful of Massachusetts State Law.

Marijuana isn't harmful to anyone. Any sane reading of the constitution would find its prohibition outrageous. Even this is irrelevant.
We can blather about states rights vs federal law, but that too is irrelevant.
What was done to her was WRONG.
Ms. Parks understood that her activities were also against societal norms and likely against several Jim Crow laws, but she took her place on that bus as she saw fit because it was the right thing to do, bad laws be damned.
If you still want to quibble about her permit process, you've missed the point entirely.

Ok. You're right.
