Recently at a debate in Boise over making life-changing medication available to Idaho children suffering from terrible seizures, two points stood out that were made by Idaho lawmakers. One lawmaker commented that all drugs according to their actual hazard potential using federal guidelines. The Oregon Board of Pharmacy, under the Ore.he wished they could help suffering Idaho children, but their hands were tied as the federal classification of marijuana would trump their effort. Another lawmaker commented that a new federal administration could come into power and enforce the federal law on the books.
Currently the Fed has the power, on the books, to make the innocent Idaho families of innocent Idaho children, using life-changing medication extracted from marijuana, face federal penalties for illegally obtaining and transporting a schedule '1' narcotic across state lines then possessing it. At that point the Fed could again deny innocent Idaho children their life-changing medication and the children could also face the experience of having their parents incarcerated.
Case in point: In 1977 the Oregon Legislature passed a bill establishing the Oregon Blue Ribbon Committee on Controlled Substances. It was made up of doctors, pharmacologists, lawyers and law enforcement officials. Their job was to classify all drugs according to their actual hazard potential using federal guidelines. The Oregon Board of Pharmacy, under the Oregon Board of Health, was to publish the committee's findings of the facts into law within 30 days of the committee's conclusion.
In 1978 The Oregon Blue Ribbon Committee on Controlled Substances finished its patriotic study of the facts and came back with its findings. The fact they found, regarding the classification of marijuana, is that pot is a schedule '5' drug. The Oregon Legislature chose to not agree with the facts and chose to violate the 'due process of law' and 'civil rights' of every Oregon citizen. They played the role of dictator and withdrew the committee's funding, effectively disbanding it, and let the unconstitutional federal classification of pot, as a schedule '1' narcotic, go unchallenged.
The point is, folks: Countless Idaho citizens have and are currently suffering unduly under an old politically inspired blatant civil rights violation. It is past time to use a hammer of freedom, called the Bill of Rights, to make the representatives of those who get their power from the factor of 'might over right' prove in court that pot is a schedule '1' narcotic. They cannot prove it and they know they cannot prove it.
The citizens of Idaho desperately need their federal influence-rejecting representatives to take the lead in protecting their individual rights by sponsoring a Bill of Rights-founded civil rights lawsuit against the unconstitutional federal classification of pot as a schedule '1' narcotic; a lawsuit that will restore to innocent Idaho children their inalienable individual right to access life changing medication extracted from a schedule '5' drug; a lawsuit that will also will protect innocent Idaho citizens from being illegally branded as felons, imprisoned, their property confiscated and their lives disrupted. It is not a pot issue.
It is an American issue.
