12 Year Old Sues Jeff Sessions

in #news7 years ago

Alexis Bortell was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2013. Three years ago she began taking medical marijuana and her seizures disappeared.

The case goes before a judge in a New York City federal court on Feb. 14. Attorney Michael Hiller will be there to represent Alexis, and he told Newsweek that he thinks the ruling will go their way.

“We are very optimistic that the case is going to come out the way it should, which is that the Controlled Substances Act is going to be found unconstitutional,” Hiller told the magazine.

Their case involves several other plaintiffs including a former professional football player, a veteran and another child.

Your post is really great. I found it awesome. I like it. Thanks for sharing with us.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! Hope I can keep bringing some good info to you good folks out there!

Not a bad post, but for completeness you should really note that medical marijuana has not been proven to be effective in controlling seizures, like it has in treating nausea etc in cancer patients on chemo
