“An injured mechanic who uses medical marijuana as pain treatment can have his former employer and the company’s insurer reimburse him for the drug, a New Mexico appeals court ruled. The state’s Court of Appeals voted unanimously on Monday to uphold a previous workers compensation court decision that also ruled in favor of the 55-year-old former mechanic, who suffered a lower back injury in 2000, according to court papers. The Santa Fe mechanic’s former employer, Ben’s Automotive Services, and its insurer, Redwood Fire & Casualty, had objected to reimbursing the man for using medical marijuana as treatment, citing the drug’s illegality under federal law.”
