MOUTHING LIES

Shannon Rooney omitted one important fact about the drug offender
being forced to write a report on "the nonsensical character" of
California's medical-marijuana program.

The plain truth is that dozens of medical groups, from the Wisconsin
State Medical Society, the National Institutes of Health and the
Vermont Medical Society to the San Francisco Medical Society, the
National Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Medicine and the
Medical Society of the State of New York, to name a few, recognize the
medical value of marijuana.

No doubt this judge expects a scathing attack on medical marijuana,
but that is a lie. If the judge insists on forcing someone to mouth
lies that they do not believe in, he is the biggest hypocrite in Nevada.
