US CA: Federal Judges Dismiss Lawsuits Filed By Medical

Chico Enterprise-Record, 25 Jul 2012 – SACRAMENTO — Federal judges reinforced federal drug laws outlawing marijuana by dismissing lawsuits advocating for dispensaries in all four California court districts, a U.S. Department of Justice spokeswoman said Tuesday. Medical marijuana supporters sought to stop the federal government from prosecuting them but the judges upheld the Controlled Substances Act that lists the drug as schedule one, illegal, Lauren Horwood said.
