The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has rejected a petition to re-hear arguments that medical marijuana is protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
In a split decision in May, a three-judge panel of the usually liberal court shot down the idea that the ADA allows sick or disabled people to use medical weed. The case, James v. the City of Costa Mesa, came about because of an amendment to California’s medical-pot law that allows cities to set their own rules on dispensaries.
