Description
The constitutionality of Alaskas statute prohibiting possession of marijuana is put in issue in this case. Petitioner Ravin was arrested on October 11, 1972 and charged with violating AS 17.12.010. Before trial Ravin attached the constitutionality of AS 17.12.010 by a motion to dismiss in which he asserted that the State had violated his right of privacy under both the federal and Alaska constitutions, and further violated the equal protection provisions of the state and federal constitutions. Lengthy hearings on the questions were held before District Court Judge Dorothy D. Tyner, at which testimony from several expert witnesses was received. Ravins motion to dismiss was denied by Judge Tyner. The superior court then granted review and after affirmance by the superior court, we, in turn, granted Ravins petition for review from the superior courts affirmance.
