San Francisco. A federal judge ruled yesterday that the Oakland Cannabis Buyers' Cooperative could resume serving sick people, such as AIDS and cancer patients, who would suffer "imminent harm" without cannabis. U.S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer said the government had failed to show why some people should be barred from using the drug as a medicine. Jeff Jones, executive director of the Oakland club, said Breyer's ruling opened the first legal loophole in federal laws banning any use of marijuana. Gretchen Michael, a spokeswoman for the Justice Department, said officials are reviewing Breyer's decision and had no immediate comment. |
