9th Circuit to Hear Marijuana Arguments
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has scheduled oral arguments for the Oakland Cannabis Buyers' Cooperative and Wo/Men's Alliance for Medical Marijuana on September 17th (S.F., 8 am). The cases will be heard together. At issue will be the constitutionality of the Controlled Substances Act with regards to non-interstate use of medical marijuana in California. The panel will consist of Justices Reinhardt, Schroeder and Silverman.
Later the same day, a different panel will hear the appeal of the Hemp Industry Association vs. the DEA.
