It won't drag on forever...just till the election. The judge may be limited in what he can do, like ordering HC to fix things, but simply restoring possession limits and the ability to move our gardens in the short term is not going to fly. There are still all those patients who were excluded because of dates or were forced into the mmpr that can't afford their medicine and will continue to be denied access. They will have a legit discrimination argument.
Take HC out of the equation all together. They have proven repeatedly that they are not capable of developing or administering a mmj program that meets the needs of patients. I do not need to reveal personal details to HC for any other medical treatment or drug, why am I forced to give up my privacy to improve my quality of life? That will be the next hurdle. Why can it not be as simple as going to a doctor, getting a script and either buying or growing some medicine? I can have a 60 day supply of oxy's from a doctor by noon today if I wanted and I don't need HC's permission for that, but they get to decide if I can have a plant?
I have to agree with Raider. I have said in the past and continue to say that regardless of the outcome this will drag on for years.
I say this based on the history of Court decisions and demands made of HC to make changes, and how HC responds.
HC will appeal everything, delay, and implement the bare minimum.
It takes time for change. Small steps. We are moving forward though.
I tell you what moves change faster though...having some patients (martyrs?) get arrested and go to trial. If cases get into court it speeds things up. Why do you think there have been no charges and trials for concentrates over the last year?
You think the feds want to go to court with a home grow cultivation charge of 12 plants with a patient?....No way, they know they will lose. Better for them to not lay the charges.
I've said this over a year ago...the best thing to happen is to get a few volunteers to be demanded to be arrested and go to court.
