A medical cannabis patient in Nevada is asking the state supreme court to reconsider its refusal to end mandatory registration and fees for cardholders now that the plant is legal for social use.

The anonymous Nevada resident accuses the state of discriminating against medical cannabis patients by regulating the program more strictly than their social program counterparts.

In a petition filed for rehearing on Thursday, the patient’s attorney Jacob Hafter characterized the justices as cowardly for avoiding questions about fundamental healthcare rights when the resident appeal was denied through a lower court ruling.

Hafter argued it was self-incrimination to force patients to register under the program when the federal government still considers cannabis illegal.

The Supreme Court agreed with state lawyers who argued the measure voters approved in 2000 made medical cannabis available only to those who participate in the state registry. The court said there was no violation of Fifth Amendment protections from self-incrimination when the program is voluntary.

Hafter said the justices failed to recognize the implications of current social cannabis legislation affecting medical cannabis patients and urged the courts to revisit the issue of fundamental healthcare without government interference.
