STATE RESUMES ISSUING CARDS FOR MEDICAL-POT USERS
SACRAMENTO -- State officials revived California's medical-marijuana
identification-card program Monday, saying state employees weren't
violating federal law by issuing the cards.
The pilot program was shuttered 10 days ago because of concerns about
a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling.
Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that people who smoke
marijuana because their doctors recommend it to ease pain or other
conditions can be prosecuted for violating federal drug laws.
