A Montana lawmaker plans to examine emerging legal problems concerning medical marijuana later this month when she calls together a legislative committee.
Rep. Diane Sands of Missoula chairs the Children, Families, Health and Human Services Interim Committee.
The Democrat lawmaker says she wants the committee to help identify problems, prioritize them and develop a list for the 2011 legislative session.
One legal question is whether a patient or caregiver who lives within the 1,000-foot drug-free zone of a school is allowed to grow, use or possess medical marijuana.
The qualifications of who can be certified as a caregiver to distribute medical marijuana and who can receive it could also be discussed.
Missoula Police Chief Mark Muir calls the state's current medical marijuana system "a joke."
