Supreme Court upholds federal power in medical marijuana ruling
The Supreme Court affirms federal authority in drug cases, rejecting a broad challenge to state medical marijuana laws. Angel Raich, a California patient, says she would die if she stopped using cannabis, while Diane Monson grows her own plants. The decision preserves California, Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont and Washington protections but may hinder future state laws as federal power prevails. Local officials emphasize privacy and due process, with Congress urged to consider future action.
