Judge Schedules Oral Arguments In Marijuana Companies A federal judge on Thursday agreed to schedule oral arguments in a case from major U.S. marijuana companies that are seeking to shield in-state cannabis activity from federal enforcement. The businesses have said in their lawsuit against the federal government that the prohibition of marijuana has “no rational basis,” pointing to officials’ largely hands-off approach to the recent groundswell of state-level legalization.
The new order, from the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts’s Western Division, comes following the companies’ request for oral argument earlier this month.
The in-court arguments will be held on May 22 at 10:30 a.m.
