In 1996 California voters passed the Compassionate Use Act, legalizing marijuana for medical use. California's law conflicted with the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA), which banned possession of marijuana. After the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) seized doctor-prescribed marijuana from a patient's home, a group of medical marijuana users sued the DEA and U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft in federal district court.
GONZALES, ATTORNEY GENERAL, et al. v. RAICH et al.
The impact of this case goes way beyond the pot issue. It calls into question federal laws and will be in the news fordays to come.
