A terminally ill woman from New Hampshire who took her state to court to get medical marijuana is coming to Maine to pick up her medicine.

A 2013 New Hampshire law allows patients with certain conditions to use medical marijuana, but no dispensaries are open yet.

The co-founder of the Wellness Connection of Maine, Becky DeKeuster, says it's an honor to be able to help lung cancer patient Linda Horan.

"It's not just about accessing medicine in another state," DeKeuster says, "it's about having legal protection in your home state to be in possession of your medicine as well."

Linda Horan argued in court that she might not live long enough to see New Hampshire dispensaries open. After a judge's ruling in her favor, the state issued her an ID that allows her to purchase medical marijuana in other states.

New Hampshire Public Radio reports that the state's attorney general has directed the Department of Health and Human Services to issue medical marijuana cards to other eligible patients.
