Federal Legal Information

The guidance from the U.S. Department of Justice (USDOJ) does not make the use of medical marijuana legal under federal law, and does not create a defense to a federal prosecution for a drug related offense.

On August 29, 2013, the USDOJ announced an update to its federal marijuana enforcement policy in light of recent state ballot initiatives that legalize, under state law, the possession of small amounts of marijuana and provide for the regulation of marijuana production, processing and sale. The guidance makes clear that marijuana remains an illegal drug under the Controlled Substances Act. That federal prosecutors will continue to aggressively enforce this statute. To this end, the Department identifies eight enforcement areas that federal prosecutors should prioritize.

Thinking About Organizing Marijuana Testing In Your Company?

And Besides Its Medical Use

The Supreme Court has ruled in a 6-3 decision that Congress has the right to outlaw medicinal marijuana, thus subjecting all patients to federal prosecution even in states where the treatment is legalized. Meaning that doctors can still give medical marijuana in states where it's legal, but the DEA can bust down the door of a person using the drug to fight off a spinal injury and put them in jail. Which makes, well, no sense at all. You can debate this issue on and on, but the fact of the matter is...medical marijuana works. I will never cease to understand the constant struggle to have it be used to treat ill patients suffering from various debilitating diseases and injuries in which a controlled use of cannabis would greatly benefit their recovery and coping process. And just because a drug is frequently used (and abused) recreationally isn't just cause to make it illegal for those in need who could use its benefits. After all, Ritalin, sleeping pills, Adderall and many other...

We need a lot more research," said Dr. Robert Kloner, chief science officer at Huntington Medical Research Institutes and professor of medicine at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. "It's inevitable that more and more states are going to legalize marijuana for medical and/or recreational use, and the cardiology community and the users need to know more about the impact." Doctors should be asking their patients about it, said Dr. Ersilia DeFilippis, a cardiology fellow at Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York City. We need to ask patients about marijuana use. In what forms it's being used. They need to understand it may interact with some of the medications they are taking, and that it can better help us evaluate their risk." More people in the United States are using marijuana-and doing it more frequently, according to the World Drug Report published last year by the United Nations. Annual use increased from 10% to 15% in t...
