California high school students openly smoke medical marijuana at school

Some California teens are giving a new meaning to "high" school.

Students are finding easy access to medical marijuana cards and presenting those cards to school authorities as a legitimate excuse for getting high.

But, where are the cards coming from?

This is a copy of the letter sent home to parents of students in the Grossmont Union High School District.

Seems there's a new excuse for getting caught high on campus these days:

"It's not a get out of jail free card at all."

Catherine Martin says even though medical marijuana is legal in California, the law doesn't apply to schools which are subject to federal law.

The district also says the students most recently suspended for being high with cards in hand - didn't have major illnesses.

"Students are getting them for things like sleeplessness and stress - it just draws into question how easy is it for people to get their hands on these cards."

According to the district attorney's office, it's extremely easy if you know where to look.

"The cards these kids have, I've not seen them are issued by Doctor's offices or clinics that sell cards."

"During a series of recent under cover sting operations, DA investigators identified a handful of San Diego Doctors who prescribe marijuana to just about anyone, so long as they have a symptom and money. One of those Dr's runs this business. MediMar."

We've learned Dr. Kenneth Johnson of Medimar is the same doctor who signed off on at least one of the Grossmont District students.

His clinic at this Mission Valley office building was closed today - but down the hall we found this - a separate business closed as well - permanently by San Diego police.

"It was pretty much you had a short consultation. Came in and filled out a short questionnaire, talked to a couple guys about it, got a prescription and then you'd walk across the hall and get your prescription filled."

"no comment, no comment?"

The owner of the business who returned to clean up today slammed the door on us. The police notice - now ripped - still hanging there.

Tenants say it was getting out of hand

"He thought he'd found a loophole in the law and was trying to take advantage of it, but, it didn't seem like it was too legal after yesterday at least."

Didn't the same thing happen during Prohibition? Quacks were prescribing gin to folks for "tension and nervousness".
