A medical marijuana cardholder has filed a lawsuit alleging Nevada‘s patient registration system is unconstitutional.
James Parsons‘ complaint says federal agents raided his house in 2010 after getting his name from a state patient database. He says provisions in the state‘s medical marijuana laws and the actions of state officials violate his Second and Fifth amendment rights and constitutional right to privacy.
Parsons, whose lawsuit identifies him as a Clark County resident and former Marine, filed the case without an attorney Tuesday in Las Vegas Justice Court. He declined to answer questions Wednesday, saying he planned to have a press conference later.
It‘s not clear whether the Justice Court, which normally hears only minor civil cases, even has jurisdiction. [Read more at the Las Vegas Review Journal]
