A Michigan judge has refused to allow 10 defendants charged with violating the medical marijuana law to smoke pot while awaiting trial. District Court Judge Richard Kuhn rejected a motion Tuesday to modify bond conditions, The Detroit News reported.
Many of the defendants say they need marijuana for pain relief or help with other symptoms.
Police said they found illegal marijuana last week in raids at Everybody's Cafe, a restaurant, and Herbal Remedies, a marijuana dispensary, both in Waterford. A clinic in Ferndale was also searched.
