Cannabis

If you google Ms. Kirouac's name, it becomes apparent that a couple months prior to her arrest, she publicly RSVP'd to a "yes on #2" event, #2 being the Florida medical marijuana initiative in question.

Which causes a couple things to spring immediately to my mind. One, it bolsters her claim to be involved with medical marijuana as a an issue and as a patient, AND it further ties this case to the specific law Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Sheldon Adelson fought to keep from passing.

Beyond that, one hopes that the Florida Medical Marijuana community will be throwing together a well-funded legal defense for Ms. Kirouac, because the immediate question which comes to my mind in a legal context is, (particularly given the cops' statement "there was suspicion she was growing marijuana" and the odd, sort of random nature of an arrest due to 'following her home from the grow shop') --- were the authorities there targeting her specifically due to her participation in political speech and activities protected by the 1st Amendment?

Hmmmmmm.
