“A federal judge has rejected a motion challenging the constitutionality of cannabis’ classification as a Schedule I prohibited substance without any accepted medical utility. Judge Kimberly J. Mueller of the Federal District Court in Sacramento, California issued her oral ruling during a 15-minute court hearing on Tuesday. Judge Mueller heard closing arguments in the case in early February, but she had postponed ruling on the matter until this week. Her written opinion was not available at the time of her ruling. In October, experts for the defense presented evidence over a five-day period arguing that the scientific literature is not supportive of the plant’s present categorization.”
