Judge Won't Stop Medical Marijuana Crackdown
Judge Won't Stop Medical Marijuana Crackdown
A federal judge won't stop the crackdown on medical marijuana dispensaries in the Bay Area.
Judge Saundra Armstrong ruled against three pot clubs seeking a temporary and immediate halt to the federal crackdown. U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag had ordered those clubs to close, because they were too close to schools on parks.
Armstrong indicated the clubs did not make a strong legal case.
The Court is sensitive to the desires of individuals to use medical marijuana with a doctors recommendation, as permitted by California law, she wrote in an opinion Monday. Nonetheless, marijuana remains illegal under federal law, and in Congress view, it has no medicinal value.
