Medical marijuana law challenged
San Diego Union Tribune CA
Supreme Court challenging the California law requiring counties to issue legal identification cards to medical marijuana patients. County supervisors voted for the filing after the California Supreme Court rejected the county’s long-running legal fight to avoid implementing state marijuana laws. According to the petition filed with San Bernardino County on Monday California counties cannot be forced to issue ID cards to patients because marijuana is still illegal under federal law. That argument was rejected by a state trial court and a state appellate court before the California Supreme Court declined to consider the suit last year. Supreme Court will decide whether to accept or reject the case this year.
