Court decision opens di
for medicinal hemp ch
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A fed
eral appeals court yesterday raised
the possibility that clubs that pro
vide medical marijuana might be
reopened, saying “medical neces
sity” could make some patients ex
empt from laws against pot.
In a rebuff to the Clinton ad
ministration, the 9th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals told a judge who
had issued an injunction against
such groups to consider exempting
patients and doctors who could
show "medical necessity.” The in
junction against six medical mari
juana clubs had been issued at the
request of the Justice Department.
The court did not order the ex
ception but said there was evidence
that would justify it.
One of the six Northern Califor-
clubs, the Oakland Cannabis
ma
Buyers’ Cooperative, “has identified
a strong public interest in the avail
ability of a doctor-prescribed treat
ment that would help ameliorate the
condition and relieve the pain and
suffering of a large group of persons
with serious or fatal illnesses,” the
court said in a 3-0 ruling.
The court noted that the “neces
sity” defense — showing that break
ing the law was the only way to pre
vent a more serious harm — would
be available if federal authorities
prosecuted patients or club official^
for violating federal drug laws.
Because the government sought
an injunction against future law
breaking instead of prosecuting
anyone, the order should be word
ed to exclude conduct that likely
would be allowed if a person cited
the necessity defense at trial, the
court said.
To be eligible for such an exemp-

Ramsey lawyers attack officer’s comm
DENVER (AP) — Remarks by a police detective
present when the body of 6-year-old JonBenet Ram
sey was found are the latest in a series of unsub
stantiated attacks on the family, at
torneys for John and Patsy Ramsey
said yesterday.
Former Boulder Detective Linda
Arndt said in an interview broadcast
on ABC’s “Good Morning America”
yesterday that she feared for her life
as she spoke with Mr. Ramsey short
ly after JonBenet’s body was found.
No one has been charged in the
slaying, but authorities say the Ramseys remain un
der suspicion. They have denied any involvement.
