2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: MAY I ask this: Do people here who remember Watergate [View all]Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)In her capacity as congressperson, she voted against the rule (eventually passed anyway) telling the DEA to respect state medical marijuana laws and stop arresting medical marijuana patients in those states (not appreciating that, the DEA and DOJ decided that the legislation doesnt mean what it says, and they can continue to arrest patients anyway)
On the state level, however, DWS actively campaigned AGAINST measure 2, even working with Sheldon Adelson, the primary backer of the "no on 2" movement.

So yes, she is directly culpable in this florida state-level situation which is resulting in this medical marijuana patient facing 10 years (remember, Denny Hastert is only getting 15 months for abusing children) in prison.
