The following are filings in two separate federal court cases out of Pennsylvania that summarily explain all relevant and recent case law concerning whether or not federal probationers are permitted to use and possess medical marijuana on probation. As noted in these documents, the courts have apparently allowed some arbitrary freedom for medical marijuana in certain cases, but denied freedom in others.
To wit, no defendant has so far made my argument: that UA’s being used to look for THC, when federally legal hemp is available, are unconstitutional as applied to Rastafarians. This does not argue that using marijuana is necessary to violate drug testing requirements on supervised release — it argues that using hemp, which is federally lawful, should not be a violation for card-holding medical marijuana users, and should also not be a violation for Rastafarians.
These defendants briefs, and the government’s responses, are instructive, informative, and only available online here at WeedPress. No other marijuana blog or news site is focusing on this situation as in depth as we have — we’ll figure it out before anyone else does, it seems, especially because nobody seems to be taking this federal issue seriously enough to do the massive arduous work required to make this evil system stand down and stop torturing and abusing both drug users, and the rule of law.
