Yesterday, a super court judge in DC ruled that one resident must stop smoking his medicinal marijuana in his home after being sued by a neighbor for 'being a nuisance' and 'disrupting her health,' despite being legalized in the city.
The court ruled in favor of Josefa Ippolito-Shepherd, 75, against her neighbor, Thomas Cackett, 73, after Ippolito-Shepherd raised a lawsuit claiming that the smell of smoke coming from Cackett's apartment prevented her from sleeping, thus negatively affecting her health.
"I have the right to breathe fresh air in my home," Ippolito-Shepherd told the media. She's lived in her residence for 30 years, and doesn't plan on moving.
