Here at this firm we just started challenging whether or not the marijuana law in Minnesota is properly classified. Right now, it’s scheduled as a Schedule 1 controlled substance, which means that Schedule 1 controlled substances can have no medicinal value. We know that marijuana’s been legalized to the extent that it provides medicinal value for patients; hence, it cannot be a Schedule 1 controlled substance. I’m very much simplifying this argument but in short, it’s a violation of the constitution and we’re using experts to challenge these cases we just got done arguing two cases in district court we’re awaiting the court decisions. It’s a complicated issue but it’s an issue that I’m right on and eventually I’m going to win.

MN criminal attorney, Ryan Garry, explains how he is challenging Minnesota’s marijuana laws. He notes that the firm has begun challenging whether Minnesota’s marijuana law is properly classified. At present, marijuana is listed as a Schedule I controlled substance, a category reserved for substances deemed to have no medicinal value. However, because marijuana has been legalized for medical use, it does not meet the criteria for Schedule I classification. While the argument is complex, it ultimately raises constitutional concerns. To advance these challenges, the firm relies on expert testimony and has recently argued two cases in district court, with decisions pending. He maintains that although the issue is complicated, the legal position is sound and will ultimately prevail.
