Medical Marijuana’s Showdown with Federal Law: Advice from a Lawyer
|
Federal law is about to face off against Connecticut medical marijuana law. But it’s not the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) that’s going to lead the fight. Here’s the story. Jeffrey Rigoletti was supposed to start work at an Amazon fulfillment center in Windsor, Connecticut on October 24, 2016, but according to his complaint filed in Hartford late last year, after Mr. Rigoletti attended orientation, Amazon had second thoughts. Mr. Rigoletti alleges that he informed Amazon that he takes marijuana, in compliance with Connecticut law, for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
