Judge: Medicinal Pot Use No Reason To Yank License

MERCED -- A Merced County Superior Court judge has ordered the California Department of Motor Vehicles to pay $69,400 in attorney fees in the case of an Atwater woman whose licensed was revoked for being a medical marijuana user.

Judge Brian McCabe on Thursday ordered the DMV to pay attorney fees to Americans for Safe Access, a national medical marijuana advocacy organization.  The group filed a lawsuit on behalf of Rose Johnson, a 54-year-old medical marijuana user who had her license revoked in June 2008.
