My show today is about a criminal case in California where a federal judge has agreed to hold a hearing on a motion to dismiss based on change in circumstance that makes marijuana’s classification no longer valid. The case is United States v. Schweder, No. 11-cr-00449-KJM-16 (Eastern District of California). A similar case is pending in Michigan, United States v. Taylor, No. 14-cr-00067-RJJ (Western District of Michigan).
