I knew it was a matter of time.

Quote:

There are some residents throughout New Mexico who are on the state’s cannabis program such as 34-year old Gregory Fernandez, who is one of them but has recently ran into a problem.

Fernandez said he was arrested Sunday for allegedly driving on a suspended license. Immediately, Fernandez said he was stripped of the marijuana he possessed even though he's a part of the state's cannabis program. The marijuana is prescribed for his epilepsy, he said.

Fernandez said he was stripped of the marijuana he possessed even though he's a part of the state's cannabis program. The marijuana is prescribed for his epilepsy, he said.

Fernandez said he has seizures often, especially when stressed, and not having his medications while behind bars wasn't easy, he said. Fernandez is now seeking answers.

WOW, I hadn't thought about this... Sounds like a lawsuit to me....If an inmate is on any other prescribed medication, the jail would have to administer the drug to the inmate. What do they do in Cali with a situation like this?

My PO and Judge are denying my use of medical cannabis here in Michigan and I'm only on probation! Now I might fail my drug test tomorrow and violate. I will get a lawyer and I will fight this!

Psh, everybody knows cannabis prescriptions aren't REAL like a vicodin or oxycontin prescription. Those drugs can actually HELP people don't you know?

This guy was obviously just using a loophole in the law to get high.

If you're on probation for a drug offense they *may* get away with that. But if it's something irrelevant and you are a card holder then they cannot do this to you. Check over the law, it protects you against being treated like that. Now if it was at a federal level you would be screwed, but state you should be able to fight it.
