Medical Marijuana Advocate Kills Herself

The Missoulian
By MICHAEL MOORE
October 27, 2007

Robin Prosser, a Missoula woman who struggled for a quarter century to live with the pain of an immunosuppressive disorder, tried years ago to kill herself. Last week, she tried again. This time, she succeeded.

After her earlier attempt failed, Prosser wound up in even more trouble after investigating police found marijuana in her home. She used the marijuana to help cope with pain. That marijuana charge was eventually dropped in an agreement with the city of Missoula, and Prosser had reason to rejoice in 2004 when Montanans passed a law allowing medical use of the drug.

She was a high-profile campaigner for the Montana Medical Marijuana Act, and like others, she was dismayed when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that drug agents could still arrest sick people using marijuana, even in states that legalized its use.

The ruling came to haunt Prosser in late March, when DEA agents seized less than a half ounce of marijuana sent to her by her registered caregiver in Flathead County. At the time, the DEA special agent in charge of the Rocky Mountain Field Division said federal agents were “protecting people from their own state laws” by seizing such shipments.

1. Robin had a lifetime agony of pain. The DEA had no reason to harass her.

I thought Missoula's legislation on this issue would have been respected in her case.

Just when I thought things were improving at the state level of pot decriminalization in Montana.

This poor lady suffered so much and to have this happen in her small steps to alleviate her symptoms is downright wrong. I am so sorry you had to deal w/ this, Robin; unbelievable that this happened to you. Rest in peace.

2. The arrogance and stupidity of these bastards knows no bounds....

"At the time, the DEA special agent in charge of the Rocky Mountain Field Division said federal agents were “protecting people from their own state laws” by seizing such shipments."

- Well, its too late to protect her now. Thanks for all your help....

3. "protecting people from their own state laws"?!?!

Does this individual have any respect for, or even understand, the principles on which this nation was founded!?!? Ridiculous!
