9/5/2007 changed the number of OCBC cards issued to 100k from 10k, based on the fact that I am member #100xxx as of July 2007. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.61.113.243 (talk) 16:37, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] added aftermath section

added a aftermath section which gives a brief update on how the OCBC functions today. I also briefly mentioned the current lawsuit going on which is trying to overturn medical marijuana in the California. Please feel free to edit if you feel this information shouldn't be here

Are these facts verifiable? ---Axios023 (talk) 01:45, 8 June 2008 (UTC)


I removed the tags looking for wikification, sections, and sources because I made some improvements. However, it still needs work. I would like to see a more detailed explanation of the Supreme Court ruling and an explanation of the what issues are still being considered by the lower courts. I would also like to see a little more context and information about the local politics and parties involved in the case. There is plenty of information in the links I provided.

I'm up for it. ---Axios023 04:36, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Stay by Ninth Circuit. Can anyone verify the fact that the Ninth Circuit issued a stay in this case pending the outcome in Raich v. Ashcroft? The stay should have been lifted by now. What has happened since? ---Axios023 04:56, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

OCBC's web site has pdf links to virtually all the relevant court pleadings in this case. Looks like the stay's legit. Too bad the Ninth Circuit doesn't have free public access to its docket over the internet. ---Axios023 05:16, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Links to medical necessity article. Someone had added links from this article to the "medical necessity" article. Since that article doesn't discuss the term "medical necessity" as it's being used here (as a legal defense to a criminal charge), I removed them. ---Axios023 06:13, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
