Medical marijuana injunction hearing starts Monday in Helena.  Montana Cannabis Industry Association filed for an injunction to stop a new law that would make it more difficult for users of medical marijuana to obtain the drug.  In 2004, Montana voters passed a law allowing its use, but in 2011, the legislature attempted to implement stringent restrictions.  Hearing is scheduled for the next two days. "Those seeking the injunction contend the new law violates the plaintiffs' constitutional rights to equal protection, privacy, dignity, freedom of speech and due process."
