	California Proposition 215 (1996) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Also known as the Compassionate Use Act of 1996, the proposition was a state-wide voter initiative authored by San Francisco oncologists Richard Cohen and Ivan Silverberg, and by nurse Anna Boyce of Orange County, and approved by California voters.
		Upon announcement of the Supreme Court decision, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger briefly suspended the operation of programs related to compassionate use, but was compelled to resume by the ACLU and the Drug Policy Alliance.
		Although "Compassionate Use" is now protected in California law, the federal government continues to effect prosecutions under the Controlled Substances Act.
