NM woman faces eviction over medical marijuana use

(AP) — A woman was told to move out of her apartment when the landlord discovered she has marijuana for medical use. Bobbie Wooten, 47, uses a wheelchair because she was paralyzed from the waist down in a car crash several years ago and suffers severe spasms. She joined the state’s medical marijuana program when it went into effect last year. A management representative for Silver Cliffs apartments did a surprise inspection Tuesday and spotted two marijuana plants she has for medical use under a state license, Wooten said. She said the representative returned a short time later with a notice that she had three days to move.

If passed, Question 2 would replace the criminal penalties for possession of one ounce or less of marijuana with a new system of civil penalties. This would be enforced by issuing citations and would exclude information regarding this civil offense from the state’s Criminal Record Information System (CORI). Offenders 18 or older would be subject a civil penalty of $100, while those under 18 would pay a $100 fine if they successfully complete a drug awareness program within one year of the offense. Those who don’t could be required to pay a higher penalty – as much as $1,000.
