Japanese Medical Marijuana Patient Desperate To Stay In U.S.

do Toke of the Town

A Japanese medical marijuana patient battling Crohn's disease, in what he describes as a fight for his life, is desperately trying to gain political/medical asylum in the United States, because his homeland's government says cannabis is not a medicine.

Kenichi Nalita, the very first medical marijuana user to fight for his rights in Japanese courts, told Toke of the Town that he hopes the U.S. will accept him as a political prisoner seeking asylum, since he can obtain medicinal cannabis in California but not in Japan.
