Marijuana Advocates Push for Legalization in Landmark Case
Marijuana advocates are awaiting a federal judge's decision on its challenge against federal marijuana laws. Five plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against the DEA and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. It challenges the listing of marijuana as a schedule I drug, which classifies the drug as having no medical use and it cannot be legally prescribed. Jose Belen, U.S. Army combat veteran and one of the plaintiffs on this case, and attorney Joseph Bondy explain why they were inspired to fight for this cause.
"Cannabis for me has allowed me to feel emotion again--to just simply function," says Belen who has suffered from PTSD. "It's not a cure, but it's allowed me to find my smile again. For me Cannabis is life saving."
