U.S. APPEALS COURT SETS ASIDE FEDERAL MARIJUANA LAW

A federal appeals court allowed two very sick California women on Tuesday to use marijuana, setting aside longstanding federal drug laws that bar such cultivation even for
medical purposes.

Growing marijuana for medical purposes is legal in California under a
1996 voter-approved state law, but the measure clashes with federal
law.

Angel Raich, who has an inoperable brain tumor, and Diane Monson, who
suffers from severe back pain, last year sued U.S. Attorney General
John Ashcroft. They sought an injunction against the act, saying the
1970 federal Controlled Substances Act was unconstitutional.
