Ashcroft v. Raich Talking Points
For The US Supreme Court Case On 11/29/2004
Here are some more talking points that the Raich team has put together. Let’s show the DOJ that we are a strong unified movement and we know what his case means to our lives.

Ashcroft v. Raich Talking Points
· This case, first and foremost, is about granting sick and dying patients the right to a medicine that has proven medical benefits supported by government studies and health care professionals.
· People who suffer from leukemia, cancer, multiple sclerosis and other life-threatening illnesses should not have to live in fear of being arrested for taking the medicine they need to survive – medicine their doctors are recommending for them.
· An overwhelming majority of Americans agree with us. In fact, 80% of the Americans are in favor of patients having access to medical cannabis if that is what their doctors recommend, according to a recent TIME/CNN poll. This is not a divisive red state/blue state issue. In fact, four states with medical cannabis laws on the books are red: Colorado, Nevada, Montana and Alaska.
· Overwhelming support for more common sense medical cannabis laws, most recently in Montana, Ann Arbor MI, and Columbia MO further point to growing public support for cannabis as legitimate medicine and the compassion most Americans have for severely ill people who rely on cannabis to alleviate their suffering.
· Doctors, not the federal government, know what’s best for their patients. Who would you rather have overseeing your health? Your doctor or a federal agent from Washington, DC?
· The federal government should not interfere between a patient and her doctor’s decision to recommend the medicine that best treats the patient’s illness.
· Angel’s doctors have tried regular pharmaceutical treatments and they have failed. In fact, they have made her sicker. Medical cannabis has worked. She can walk again, hug her children again, live her life again. If the federal government is allowed to interfere and stop her from getting the medical cannabis she needs, it is in effect condemning her to death.
· Furthermore, there is strong legal precedent for the Supreme Court to decide that the federal government does not have the right to interfere if a state decides to allow doctors to recommend proven treatments for their patients. This is a federalism issue, and the federal government has no business poking its nose into it.
· Combating terrorism and going after drug lords should be the priority of Department of Justice and the Attorney General – not going after sick and dying patients whose only crime is seeking relief and treatment for their suffering.
· Legal point: The federal government is trying to persecute Angel and Diane for violating interstate commerce laws. This is absolutely groundless. No money ever changed hands and the cannabis the two women used as medicine never crossed state lines. This is clearly a case where the feds are grasping at straws to wage a misguided war on the sick.
· Federalism isn’t just for conservatives. This case is about enabling states to advance social policies beyond the reach of Congress that help extremely sick patients live with their illnesses.
