The Arizona Cannabis Nurses association has filed a lawsuit against the Arizona Department of Health Services, over a ruling that affects those suffering from PTSD.
Even though the department's director Will Humble issued a decision last month, stating those with PTSD could get access to medical marijuana starting in January, 2015 those in the medical marijuana industry are questioning some of the stipulations attached to that decision.
Heather Manus, the president of the AZ Cannabis Nurses Association said there was a "catch". Those with PTSD had to get a doctor's recommendation and be able to prove that they had already tried "conventional" treatments first. The lawsuit also questioned the delay in giving patient's access to the medicine.
