Alexis Bortell, 12, was joined by four other plaintiffs in her lawsuit, filed in US District Court in the Southern District of New York on July 24, according to court documents. Other defendants named in the case are the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Acting Director of the DEA Chuck Rosenberg and the US government.
Bortell has suffered from epilepsy since she was a little girl, and treatments in her home state of Texas failed to relieve her suffering. But then, a pediatrician advised her family that they could take advantage of an out-of-state option to treat the epilepsy with medical marijuana, according to KDVR.

Donald Trump's surprise election last year sparked a national crisis across the left and right of America's political spectrum. In the chaotic nine months since his inauguration, there has however been one constant among the mass upturning of norms: The Resistance.
A uniquely modern movement with online origins, it has become an umbrella term encompassing wildly disparate groups of people. It doesn't matter if you're a Republican Never Trumper like David Frum or a progressive activist like Linda Sarsour. You could be Hillary Clinton or George Bush, Bill Kristol or Michelle Obama. The Resistance welcomes all.
There is a specific faction of The Resistance that stands out in particular however. Fuelled by Twitter shares, it lives and thrives online. While a good deal of the movement is rational, and bases its Trump attacks on facts, a significant portion is not so measured. In fact, its leading figures have become social media stars by posting outlandish theories, often in lengthy Twitter threads.
They have amassed millions of followers between them, mostly by reporting on what the mainstream media has avoided due to a lack of concrete evidence. Their theories are often feasible but unproven, and filled with speculation or sources even the most seasoned journalists don't seem to have. In more extreme instances, they have reported hoaxes and conspiracy theories that have been thoroughly debunked.
Comment: A depressing survey of how easily so many get led astray by complete idiots; ponerization served from your favorite social media platform.
Last week, computer programmer Scott Smith was sitting at a red light. When it turned green, the person in front of him refused to move forward. Doing what anyone in his situation would've done-given a reasonable amount of time to move-Smith politely honked his horn to alert the man in front of him that the light was green.
As the man in front of him refused to move his vehicle, the honking became more progressive.
"Air Force Academy head to racists: 'Get out,'" CNN's headline read at the time.
Comment: Aside from the fact that his grand-standing was based on a lie, Lt Gen Jay Silveria's hypocritical virtue signalling is overshadowed by the long history of the US Air Force showing the innocent people they bomb absolutely zero respect or dignity.
The committee released a statement on Monday saying that Israeli forces raided the home of brothers Tariq Baajeh, 26, and Ahmad Baajeh, 19, in the Qalqiliya-area town of Jayyus in the northern occupied West Bank around midnight on Sunday.
According to the brothers' testimonies, soldiers handcuffed and blindfolded the brothers before transferring them to a military zone near Qalqiliya in a military jeep.
"The Baajeh brothers were assaulted and insulted the entire time they were held at the military zone," the statement said, adding that after the soldiers beat up the brothers, soldier took a "selfie" with the injured brothers "in order to provoke them."
The brothers were then transferred to the Huwwara detention center near Nablus, and then to the Megiddo prison north of the West Bank, where they were strip searched.

Los Zetas pumped money into elections in the border state of Coahuila but the detailed testimonies have been met with official denial and public apathy
The accusations made in three Texas courtrooms were staggering. Witness after witness described how a notorious drug cartel pumped money into Mexican electoral campaigns and paid off individual politicians and policemen in the border state of Coahuila to look the other way as hundreds of people were massacred or forcibly disappeared.
The Texas court testimonies - gathered in a report released this week by the Human Rights Clinic at the University of Texas School of Law and Fray Juan de Larios Diocesan Human Rights Centre in Coahuila - give one of the most complete accounts so far of how organized crime has attempted to capture the institutions of democracy in Mexico's regions.
The report prompted outrage among activists who have worked with victims of violence. But the accusations were met with sharp denials from Mexican politicians and a pointed lack of interest from judicial officials.
Comment: Mexico is reaping the fruits of the corruption it sowed for years. It is the culture of bribes and nepotism, coupled with the stark economic divide of the population, that has allowed the disease of organized crime to flourish.
Gaza fishermen
Wafa reported that Israeli forces fired at fishermen off the northern coast of northern Gaza, forcing the fishermen to dock their boats in fear of getting shot. No injuries were reported.
Meanwhile, in the southern part of the coastal enclave, Israeli bulldozers razed agricultural lands adjacent to the Gaza-Israel border fence, near Khan Younis city.
An Israeli army spokesperson told Ma'an they were looking into reports.
John Kiriakou, whistleblower and former CIA counterterrorism officer
Comment: This 'Russia-did-it' hysteria is infectious:
Kiriakou, who spent two-and-a-half years in jail for exposing the CIA's torture program in 2007, was invited to address the European Parliament on national security whistleblowing Wednesday. However, he was bounced from the panel at the last minute, because one of the other panelists objected to his presence.
Kiriakou told RT he "thought it was a joke" when Winnie Wong, co-founder of the progressive organization, People for Bernie, refused to appear on the panel with him, because "she didn't want the appearance of Bernie Sanders appearing to endorse the Russian media."

Former Fifa president Sepp Blatter has been accused of sexually assaulting Hope Solo, the USA women's football team goalkeeper, at the Ballon d'Or awards ceremony in January 2013.
The 36-year-old claimed she "had Sepp Blatter grab my ass" at the awards event, but Blatter, via a spokeman, denied the allegations, calling them "ridiculous".
Solo presented the award for Fifa women's player of the year that year on stage alongside Blatter to her colleague Abby Wambach after the USA won gold at the Olympics in London in 2012.
In the interview with Portuguese newspaper Expresso, Solo claimed that the sexual assault had happened just moments before the pair went on stage together to present the award.
