The parents of a brain-damaged Mesa boy have a right to ask court permission to be able to buy and administer marijuana extracts for their child, a Maricopa County Superior Court judge ruled late Friday.
Judge Katherine Cooper rejected claims by Deputy County Attorney Kenneth Mangum that Jacob and Jennifer Welton can challenge his boss’ interpretation of the state’s medical marijuana law only if they first are arrested. Cooper said nothing in Arizona law requires the couple “to subject themselves to the risk of criminal prosecution” before bringing their case to her.
