Lung cancer patient sues over medical marijuana ID card
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — An Alstead woman with advanced lung cancer is suing New Hampshire's health commissioner in hopes of getting a medical marijuana identification card before dispensaries are opened.
The Department of Health and Human Services started accepting applications this week from potentially qualifying patients and their caregivers, but identification cards won't be issued until the Alternative Treatment Centers get authorization to start dispensing medical marijuana.
