Marijuana's journey towards legality in Sacramento began in 1996. This is the year that citizens of California voted to pass Proposition 215. This proposition allowed people to use, transport, and cultivate marijuana for medical purposes. Once this happened people started growing. Using marijuana much more openly.

Fortunately, if this should happen to you there are legal organizations that will advocate on your behalf.

Trial Set To Begin In Burning Death Of Mississippi Teen

She said someone set her on fire. When asked who hurt her, some first responders claim they heard her say a man's name. She was rushed to a hospital, where she died the next day.

Quinton Tellis

Courtland and Panola County residents learned last year that Tellis, who was being held in Louisiana in connection with a crime involving another homicide victim, was to be indicted in Chambers' death.

District Attorney John Champion said at the time he was "very, very confident" there would be no additional charges or suspects in the Chambers case.

"We do feel like, at this point, that he acted alone in this case," he said.

Video surveillance footage and DNA evidence found on Chambers' car keys near the scene will likely play a role in Tellis' prosecution, lead detective Barry Thompson told CNN in the special report "Justice for Jessica," which airs Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on HLN with correspondent Randi Kaye.

The capital murder charge against Tellis opens the door for a death penalty case, but Champion said Wednesday the prosecution is not planning to seek the death penalty. The charge is capital murder because her death occurred during the commission of another crime: third-degree arson.

Tellis has pleaded not guilty. He declined requests for an interview.

Longtime mystery

Until Tellis' February 2016 indictment, investigators had released few details about how Chambers, a former high school cheerleader, and her car ended up severely burned in a wooded area near Courtland.

That could be because authorities had ascertained so little about her death until late 2015. Champion explained that police interviewed about 150 people, and each agreed to cooperate. That's odd in a case such as this, according to the prosecutor.

On four occasions, Champion said he thought the case had been solved, but he was wrong. Investigators received no information from their street sources, he said, and though authorities chased leads as far-flung as Tennessee, Iowa and eastern Mississippi, nothing panned out until they started taking a close look at cell phone and other data evidence.

Tellis was looked at early in the investigation, the prosecutor said, but he did not become investigators' focus until the fall of 2015.

"Things started to match up for us, and that's when we began to take a second look at Mr. Tellis," Champion said, adding that forensic evidence will be integral to driving the prosecution.

Burned teen's dad: She was unrecognizable 02:37

Jessica's father, Ben Chambers, a former mechanic with the Panola County Sheriff's Office, said he was in close contact with investigators throughout the investigation, and he witnessed their long nights, skipped vacations and the rings under their eyes.

"I've seen it day in and day out. The hard work they've done never stopped," he told reporters at the time of Tellis' indictment, a cap bearing the sheriff's office's logo atop his head. "They said someday it would come, and it did. They would not give up, and I take my hat off to them."

Ties to another homicide victim

Tellis was being held in the Ouachita Parish Correctional Facility in Monroe, Louisiana, almost a four-hour drive from Jessica Chambers' hometown, when he was indicted in her death.

He grew up in Courtland, and that's where, Champion said, he and Chambers became friends. They'd known one another for only two weeks at the time of the killing, according to investigators.

Tellis moved from Mississippi to Louisiana in the summer of 2015, the prosecutor said. Nearly eight months after Chambers' death, another young woman turned up dead.

Tellis pleaded guilty to the unauthorized use of an access card, which belonged to homicide victim Ming-Chen Hsiao, whom investigators identified as a 34-year-old University of Louisiana-Monroe student from Taiwan.

He was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

According to a probable cause affidavit in that case, Tellis used a bank debit card belonging to the missing woman on August 7, the day before The Clarion-Ledger reports her body was found, and then again on August 18 and 19, withdrawing $500 both times.

Authorities procured "photo evidence" and interviewed Tellis on August 20, at which point "he admitted to using the Chase Bank debit card on the three listed transactions and stated that he was the individual seen in the ATM photos," the affidavit said.

The authorities say Tellis remains the prime suspect in Hsiao's death, but he has never been charged in that case.

He was extradited from Louisiana to Mississippi to face the Chambers murder charge.

Tellis' rap sheet

Following the probe into the debit card, police executed a search warrant at Tellis' Monroe home and discovered a quarter-pound of marijuana in his bedroom, packaged for sale.

The suspect "stated he sold marijuana for profit. Tellis was arrested and booked" on an additional charge of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, according to the affidavit.

According to law enforcement, Tellis is a gang member with a rap sheet and has served time previously, but his gang affiliation does not appear to have anything to do with Chambers' killing, and drugs do not appear to be a factor in her death, Champion said.

Mississippi Department of Corrections records indicate Tellis was convicted of fleeing police in 2010 and sentenced to five years in prison. He was convicted of residential burglary in December 2011 and again in February 2012. He received sentences of four years and three years, respectively, on those convictions.

He was incarcerated in June 2011, according to court records. Tellis was released from a Mississippi correctional facility on October 2014 after serving time for the burglaries, Champion said. That's two months before Chambers was killed.

'She just seemed normal'

One of Chambers friends, Kesha Meyer, told CNN that she, Tellis and Chambers spent time together on the day of the blaze. But he denies killing her.

On December 6, 2014, Chambers was seen at a gas station about two miles from her mother's house. Her hair was in a bun, and she was wearing camouflage pajama pants.

She put $14 worth of gas in the car and called her mother, saying she would be home right after she cleaned her car, her older sister, Amanda Prince, told CNN.

A store surveillance video shows Chambers prepaying for gas. She walks to the store's front door when something or someone catches her attention.

She waves and walks off camera briefly, comes back into the camera's view and enters the store as three men chat by the doorway. She spends about a minute at the counter before going back outside and pumping gas.

The gas station owner who helped her said nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

"She seemed normal," Ali Alsanai told WREG in 2014. "She didn't seem like something was going wrong, you know? She just seemed normal. She just pumped some gas, we had a talk and she left."

Champion said he did not believe Chambers' visit to the gas station had anything to do with her death.

Firefighters discover teen burned alive

Firefighters discover teen burned alive 01:24

Chambers was found that Saturday night on a rural road near Courtland, her car on fire. She'd somehow fought her way out of the burning vehicle and was no longer on fire when emergency responders arrived, but she had burns on 93% of her body. Chambers approached Courtland Fire Chief Cole Haley. Said someone set her on fire.

Asked who did it, she told first responders "Eric" or "Derrick," according to Champion. Not "Quinton."

It's a point the defense may seize on. However, police investigators learned from medical experts that burns in Chambers' airway may have impeded her ability to talk.

Florida Ban On Smokable Medical Pot Ruled Unconstitutional

Friday ruled that a state’s ban on smokable cannabis is unconstitutional. Florida’s Department of Health said in a statement it has appealed the ruling, which will impose an automatic stay.

Florida ban on smokable medical pot ruled unconstitutional Back to video

Gievers wrote in her 22-page ruling that Floridians “have the right to use the form of medical marijuana for treatment of their debilitating medical conditions as recommended by their certified physicians, including the use of smokable marijuana in private places.”

Ben Pollara, who runs the non-profit medical marijuana advocacy group Florida for Care, said the ruling is a big victory for patients and voters.

Taylor Patrick Biehl of the Medical Marijuana Business Association of Florida added that “despite legislative pushback over interpretation and ideologies, justice has been served.”

Article content Voters approved a constitutional amendment in 2016 allowing the use of medical marijuana. The only mention of smoking in the amendment’s language and in an intent document during the 2016 campaign was that the Legislature and local governments could restrict it in public places.

The Legislature last year passed enacting laws that banned the sale of smoking products, citing a health risk. The laws, signed by Florida Gov. Rick Scott in June, say patients can use cannabis through vaping and in food, oils, sprays and tinctures.

John Morgan, who led the push to legalize medical marijuana Florida, filed a lawsuit challenging the ban two weeks after Scott signed the bill. He was joined in the suit by two patients with terminal illnesses who benefit from smokable medical pot.

Article content Cathy Jordan, who has had ALS since 1986, says smoking the plant dries her excess saliva, increases her appetite and works as a muscle relaxer.

Diana Dodson, who has had HIV since 1991, testified May 16 that vaping is 50 per cent less effective than smoking and that smoking allows her to get the proper dosage.

Jordan said that when she was diagnosed with ALS - amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - doctors thought she would live only three to five more years. She credits smoking with helping to prolong her life, and has been supported by her physicians.

“So many people won’t smoke due to the stigma and it being against the law. This is legitimate medicine,” she said by phone from her Manatee County home after the ruling. “This ruling is not just for me but for many other people.”

Article content Bob Jordan, Cathy’s husband, said he was still in shock after getting the call about the ruling.

“A little woman with ALS took on the state and won. That’s an amazing thing. It is kind of surreal,” he said.

He tweeted after the ruling that “truth prevails.”

Florida Department of Health spokesman Devin Galetta said in a statement that the ruling “goes against what the legislature outlined when they wrote and approved the law to implement the constitutional amendment that was approved.”

The next stop will be the state’s 1st District Court of Appeal in Tallahassee. It will be the second medical marijuana case that court will be taking up after Gievers ruled last month that a Tampa man - Joseph Redner - is entitled under state law to possess, grow and use marijuana for juicing. Redner was prescribed juicing treatments from his doctor to prevent a relapse of stage 4 lung cancer.

Seven Detention Officers Fired, One Resigns, After An In-custody Death In A Texas Jail

Possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana

Scott died at the Collin County Detention Facility after being arrested earlier in the day by the Allen Police Department, a news release issued March 18 by Allen Police Chief Brian Harvey said.

Scott was arrested for possession of less than two ounces of marijuana, Skinner said in a news conference March 22.

Scott was brought to the jail at 6:22 p.m. and "exhibited some strange behavior" while in the booking area, Skinner said at the news conference. Officers tried to restrain him to a bed, spraying him once with pepper spray and putting a spit mask on his face, the sheriff said.

"At around 10:22 p.m. while being placed on the restraint bed, Mr. Scott became non-responsive," Skinner said.

Staff started giving him emergency medical attention and he was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Skinner said.

Skinner said he called the Texas Rangers to launch their investigation, and he started his own internal investigation the day after the death. He also placed officers on administrative leave.

"I was broken-hearted to learn that someone had died in our custody," Skinner told reporters.

"The death of this young man is a profound tragedy," the sheriff added, saying he had met with the family to express his condolences.

Allen police officers arrested Scott after responding to a disturbance call at the Allen Premium Outlets and finding Scott "acting in an erratic manner," according to the news release from Allen Police.

The officers "were concerned for his safety due to the possible ingestion of drugs," the release said.

Scott was taken by ambulance to the Texas Health Allen Hospital and was in the emergency room for approximately three hours, according to the release.

The release said Scott was "released with a physician's clearance that he could be taken into custody."

Scott was processed at the Allen Police headquarters holding facility before being transported and released to the custody of the Collin County Sheriff's Office, the release said.

An investigation into the death is ongoing, according to the news release from the Collin County Sheriff's Office.

In his statement released March 18, Harvey, the Allen police chief, said he had also met with the Scott family to share his condolences.

"When I asked how I could describe their son to our department and the Allen community, I learned that Marvin was a straight A student, a football player and generous to everyone around him," Harvey said.

The Texas Rangers declined to provide an update on the investigation. CNN has also reached out to the Allen Police Department for the arrest report. An updated statement following the termination of the sheriff's office detention officers.

CNN reached out to the Collin County Medical Examiner for an autopsy report but has not yet heard back. On March 22, Leigh Ann Nolen, Secretary at the Collin County Medical Examiner's office said there was no cause of death to be released. CNN affiliate KTRK reports the autopsy report. A preliminary cause of death have not yet been released.

US Awards $3M To Fill Gaps In Medical Marijuana Research

Nine research grants announced Thursday are for work on CBD, the trendy ingredient showing up in cosmetics and foods, and hundreds of less familiar chemicals. THC research was excluded.

The federal government still considers marijuana an illegal drug, but more than 30 states allow it use for a range of medical problems, some without good evidence.

The science is strongest for chronic pain, the most common reason people give when they enroll in state-approved medical marijuana programs. But little is known about which parts of marijuana are helpful. Whether the intoxicating effects of THC can be avoided.

"The science is lagging behind the public use and interest. We're doing our best to catch up here," said Dr. David Shurtleff, deputy director of the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, which is funding the projects.

THC has been investigated extensively, Shurtleff said, and its potential for addiction and abuse make it unsuitable for treating pain.

Other federal agencies have supported marijuana research, but much of the focus has been on potential harms. Shurtleff said the grants answer the call in a 2017 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine report, which concluded a lack of marijuana research poses a public health risk.

Another driver is the nation's opioid addiction crisis, with its roots in overuse of prescription painkillers. The crisis has sparked new scientific interest in marijuana's pain-easing properties.

Dr. Judith Hellman, a grant recipient from University of California San Francisco, said scientists need to better understand pain and to find more ways to treat it. "It's very exciting to have the opportunity to do that," she said.

Hellman's research involves the body's ability to produce signaling molecules similar to marijuana's ingredients. Her and Dr. Mark Schumacher's work involves human immune cells in the lab, then tests on mice.

Human test subjects will be involved in only one of the grant projects. University of Utah researcher Deborah Yurgelun-Todd will scan the brains of human volunteers with lower back pain to see how CBD extract-mixed with chocolate pudding-affects pain-signaling pathways. Half the volunteers will get pudding without CBD as a control group.

Two more human studies may be funded in a second round of grant awards, NCCIH said.

In July, the National Institute on Drug Abuse said it would grow 2,000 kilograms (4,409 pounds) of marijuana this year at the University of Mississippi, which holds the sole federal contract for producing research cannabis. Those plants won't be used in many of the new projects, which instead will use lab-made versions of the chemicals.

Researchers in Illinois hope to create a library of useful compounds found in cannabis plants.

"We make them from scratch and test them one by one," said David Sarlah of the University of Illinois. Marijuana contains such tiny amounts of the interesting ingredients that it's too costly and time consuming to isolate enough for research, Sarlah said.

Sarlah, an organic chemist, will make the chemicals. His colleague Aditi Das will run tests to see how they react with mouse immune cells.

"There are so many beneficial effects that patients report. We need to know the science behind it," Das said. Explore further
