Medicinal Marijuana Report: Ed Rosenthal, activist and author,
could have faced as much as 60 Years for providing medicine
to sick and dying patients. In 2003 U.S. District Judge Charles
Breyer, sending a powerful message against political prosecutions
by the Bush administration, departed from sentencing guidelines,
causing the courtroom to erupt in cheers and applause. The
end result for Rosenthal: one day in prison, which had already
been served and $1,300 in fines. Now Ed Rosenthal is appealing
his conviction. The real criminals are the people in Washington
who spend billions of taxpayer dollars each year to put law-abiding
citizens and parents behind bars for providing medicine to
sick and dying patients.
