JUSTICES RULE AGAINST MEDICAL MARIJUANA
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday barred a California
clinic from distributing marijuana to patients for medicinal purposes,
throwing into turmoil the state's groundbreaking law that allows the
practice.
Acting on an emergency request from the Clinton administration, the
court voted 7 to 1 to prohibit the operations of an Oakland cannabis
club that is at the center of a four-year legal battle between the
federal and state governments.
