\nKaren, an Overland Park, KS resident, suffers from multiple
\nsclerosis and experiences significant pain and discomfort at times. To help
\ntreat her, Karen\u00e2\u0080\u0099s doctor has prescribed medical marijuana. In an effort to
\nsave money, Karen now grows marijuana in her basement, sometimes asking her
\n21-year-old nephew Mike to help her with the production. As a thank you for his
\nhelp, Karen lets Mike take some of the marijuana to share with his friends.<\/p>\n
Assume for the purposes of this scenario that the Kansas
\nlegislature has recently passed a law legalizing the use of marijuana for both
\nmedicinal and recreational purposes. Recreational marijuana use continues to be
\nillegal in Missouri and other surrounding states. At the federal level, the
\nControlled Substances Act (CSA) makes it illegal to manufacture, distribute,
\ndispense, or possess with the intent to manufacture, distribute, or dispense
\ncontrolled substances, including marijuana.<\/p>\n
The U.S. federal government has legally discovered Karen and
\nMike\u00e2\u0080\u0099s activities and plans to prosecute both of them under the CSA.<\/p>\n
What will be Karen’s and Mike’s best defense?
\nWhat rule of law will impact the court\u00e2\u0080\u0099s decision?
\nWill Karen, or Mike, or both be found guilty or innocent?<\/p>\n
