JUDGE REJECTS COUNTIES' MEDICAL MARIJUANA SUIT
A judge Wednesday upheld California's law permitting use of medical
marijuana, rejecting a lawsuit by three counties challenging the
decade-old statute.
The counties argued that local governments shouldn't have to uphold a
state law weaker than the federal blanket ban on marijuana.
San Diego County sued California and its health services director in
February. San Bernardino and Merced counties joined the suit.
