HUFFINGTON POST: …Details are scant, but it appears Raich was at UCSF for tests and was using marijuana via a vaporizer at the Parnassus campus when someone — a doctor or a pharmacist — took offense, and told Raich that they’d “call the Feds” unless she stopped using marijuana.

“The pharmacist said, you can’t use cannabis in this hospital,” Raich told the television station. “That’s a death sentence.”
