Supreme Court Reverses 9th Circuit on Raich- Status Quo Remains
The Court reversed 6-3, per Justice Stevens
Good morning! As you probably know, the Supreme Court decided in favor of Ashcroft,
giving the feds power to arrest state-legal patients and cultivators. For details
and text of decision, see below.
Remember, this does not affect any of the state laws allowing for medical marijuana,
and does NOT empower state and local police to arrest state-legal patients and
caregivers. We had a lot to gain from this decision, but very little to lose.

The Court reversed 6-3, per Justice Stevens. Justice Scalia was the sixth vote,
writing a concurrence in the judgment. Justice O'Connor wrote the principal dissent,
joined by the Chief Justice and Justice Thomas as to all but Part III. Justice
Thomas wrote a separate dissent.
