Medical Marijuana Law

An issue that has been argued before the Supreme Court and that is still the subject of a heated debate across the world that is fraught with misunderstanding, medical marijuana is a major, complex topic. This practical manual offers reliable legal information for anyone interested in knowing more about medical marijuana. Written for the educated layperson, whether a patient, doctor, lawmaker or a law enforcement official, the book starts with a history of medical marijuana in the United States. From there, the book spells out everything readers need to know on the contemporary aspects of the subject, with in-depth discussions of state and federal laws, the medical necessity defence, important cases, and specific requirements for lawfully using medical marijuana. A model statute offers guidance to readers who want to legalise the use of the drug for medicinal purposes in states without medical marijuana laws.Boire, Richard Glen is the author of 'Medical Marijuana Law', published 2007 under ISBN 9781579510343 and ISBN 1579510345.
