Medical Marijuana Providers Maybe be Federally Prosecuted

Medical marijuana use may be heading to a new challenge for medical providers in workers' compensation case. Even though some States have authorized regulation and approval of dispensing medical marijuana, a Federal law allowing the practice is up for Congressional review.


Recently, workers' compensation courts have entered orders mandating that employers and their insurance carriers provide such pharmaceutical benefits. That practice will be quickly reversed if U.S. Attorney General Jeff Session convinces Congress otherwise in accordance with a letter Sessions recently sent to Congress.
