The Michigan Supreme Court has agreed to hear another round of arguments on who can be protected from prosecution under the state’s medical marijuana law.
The Michigan Public Radio Network’s Rick Pluta reports.
Courts are still busy sorting through details of how the medical marijuana law works six years after it was approved by Michigan voters.
In this case out of Oakland County, a woman is claiming immunity from prosecution because her husband has a medical marijuana card. That’s despite the fact that her husband pleaded guilty to violating the medical marijuana law.
The Michigan Court of Appeals said she may very well be able to prove her innocence, but she can’t claim immunity under the medical marijuana law. This case will be argued alongside two other cases where defendants are claiming immunity from prosecution under the medical marijuana law.
