HoustonChronicle - Ruling backs doctors who prescribe marijuana

A federal appeals court ruled for the first time today that the government cannot revoke doctors' prescription licenses for recommending marijuana to sick patients.

A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that the Justice Department's policy interferes with the free-speech rights of doctors and patients.

A victory for free speech and sanity.
