On Monday, the US Supreme Court rejected appeals from two Southern California counties that objected to the state’s 13-year-old medical marijuana law. According to the LA Times, lawyers for San Diego and San Bernardino counties were seeking a clear ruling on whether the state law violated federal drug law.
In their appeal, San Diego County’s lawyers had questioned whether California’s marijuana law was “preempted under the Supremacy Clause” of the Constitution by the federal drug control law.
Without comment, the Court denied the counties’ appeals.
