Montana Supreme Court Upholds Restrictions On Medical Marijuana | On Tuesday, the Montana Supreme Court overturned a lower court’s decision to block the Legislature’s restrictions on medical marijuana sales, stating that access to medical marijuana or any other specific drug is not covered under a patient’s constitutional right to health and privacy. The 6-1 decision also noted that the regulation of a medication is well within lawmakers’ discretion. The 2011 law limited the number of patients per provider and prohibited providers from turning a profit. Montana voters will get a chance to weigh in on Election Day, when they vote on a ballot initiative asking them to reject the law.
