USA: A federal appeals court ruled that the medical use of cannabis is allowed under certain circumstances In a landmark decision, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled in support of both people who use medical cannabis and the constitutional principle of federalism. On 16 December the court ruled that the federal Controlled Substances Act of 1970, which outlaws the use of marijuana may not apply to sick people with a doctor's recommendation in states with medical marijuana laws.
