In Conant v. Walters, the Ninth Circuit upheld an injunction preventing federal action against physicians solely for recommending medical cannabis on the basis of sincere medical judgment. The protection concerned physician-patient communication, not dispensing cannabis or intentionally assisting its unlawful acquisition. It did not create a general federal right to prescribe or possess cannabis.[1][2]
