Montana attorney general says state medical marijuana law is still valid

 

June 8, 2005

 

A Montana law allowing people to use medical marijuana remains valid in the wake of Monday's U.S. Supreme Court decision.

 

People exercising their rights under that law will not face state prosecution, Montana Attorney General Mike McGrath said.

 

And the state has no obligation to assist the federal government in prosecuting people who use marijuana in accordance with the state statute, he said.
