 I_ SPECXFXC XSSUE ADDRESSED BY TH_
 _nether the state law (RCW 69.50.201, 9__
 seq_s including 204[c][14]) forbidding medical
 prescription of marijuana to the terminally-ill;
 while allowing the lawful prescription of far more
 dangerous drugs (including cocaine, PCP [angel
 dust]_ methamphetamine_ morphine and chemically-
 duplicated THC [the psycho-active chemical in
 marijuanaJ): Is arbitrary and irrationals and
 thus unconstitutionals requirinq the affirmance of
 the trial court ruling for the plaintiff-appellee?
 Even under the lowest possible standard of
 constitutional analysis ("mere rationality'_): The
 challenged scheduling provisions of the state
 controlled substances act make no senses lacking
 any conceivable justification_
 IX. STATEMENT OF TH_ CASE
 NORML adopts the statements of the case
 appearing in the briefs of amici_ the American
 Civil Liberties Union and the Drug Policy
 Foundation. State law classifies marijuana as a
 schedule X drug, thereby preventing its use as a
 palliative remedy by the terminally-ill pro se
