(NBC Bay Area) A medical marijuana celebrity with a brain condition said a local hospital kicked her out after she attempted to use medical marijuana inside.
Angel Raich, who fought for the right to use medical cannabis in the US Superme Court back in 2004 and 2005, talked to us outside of UCSF Medical Center in San Francisco moments after she said they booted her out.
"The pharmacist says 'you’re not allowed to have canabus in this hospital,'" Raich said. "'And if you’re gonna try to have canabus in this hospital we’re going to call the Feds.'"
