^ I guess the name "Law & Order" says it all. I think you've carried too far in this case.

Some laws are ridiculous. To obey those types of laws just because they are written doesn't necessarily serve society as a whole and certainly doesn't serve the individual, as this case so clearly shows.

Please tell me how this individual's personal use of a plant caused harm to anyone else.

And please: don't tell me that if he had obeyed the law he would still be alive. No one knows that. But it does seem that if he hadn't been found with one joint and declared his need to use it to minimize his on-going pain then he might still be alive. Yet nothing justifies the fact that he was consigned to a slow and agonizing death -- which was the fate delivered to him by the judge and other's in charge of his safe-keeping.
