Max: Sensible Drug Control Policy
Via CNN.
"An Army veteran who fled to Canada to avoid prosecution for growing marijuana to treat his chronic pain was taken from a hospital, driven to the border with a catheter still attached, and turned over to U.S. officials, his lawyer said.
Steven W. Tuck then went five days with no medical treatment and only ibuprofen for the pain, the attorney said.
Tuck, 38, was still fitted with the urinary catheter when he shuffled into federal court Wednesday for a detention hearing Wednesday.
...
U.S. Magistrate Judge James P. Donohue ordered Tuck temporarily released so he could be taken to a hospital for treatment. But by the time Donohoe issued his order, King County Jail officials had received a detainment request from Humboldt County, California, so Tuck was not released Wednesday, Hiatt said."
I can't even think of something sarcastic to say about this. If I didn't know better I would think this was straight out of Kafka.

I don't even know what to say about this, either. It's just pathetic that our country would do something like that to it's own citizen. And it also pisses me off that Canada just turned him over. Of course, had they not turned him over, I'm willing to bet Bush would have declaired war on Canada.
