: Legal Pad | LADMV unfairly targeting medical marijuana users, claims suit
By Richard Binder
Americans for Safe Access, which promotes legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes and research, has sued the DMV, asking for a written policy that says medical marijuana should be treated the same as prescription drugs. The suit contends that the DMV has a pattern of investigating and suspending the driver's licenses of people who use pot on the recommendation of their doctors.
The Oakland-based advocacy group says the suit comes on the heels of several complaints about the DMV from patients in Northern and Central California counties. State officials said in interviews that it is not their policy to take away licenses from marijuana patients. DMV spokesman Armando Botello declined to comment on the lawsuit and said the office does not keep statistics on the number of licenses yanked as a result of medical marijuana. But he indicated the instances were probably isolated.
