Illinois attorney general office told federal court and a Chicago based school district to administer medical cannabis to an 11-year-old leukemia patient for her seizures last Friday.

Illinois state law has granted Ashley Surin, an 11-year-old leukemia patient, to take medical cannabis to treat her seizure disorders. Ashley had been wearing a cannabis-infused patch on her foot since December, after receiving her state medical cannabis card. At times when the patch is ineffective for her seizure, which it occasionally is, as the lawsuit points out; she uses cannabis oil with THC on her tongue or wrists to feel better.

Though the state medical cannabis law prohibits using cannabis on school grounds or busses, Ashley’s parents Jim and Maureen sued the state and school District 54 saying the policy violated the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Chicago Tribune states.

After Friday’s hearing, school district officials said to the Chicago Tribune they will administer cannabis to Ashley, but are also waiting on the attorney general for further clarification. An assistant attorney told the Judge they would allow cannabis to the 11-year-old patient until the office can figure out how to address the state law, which still bans cannabis on school premises.

After all is said and done, Surins said to the Chicago Tribune that they are relieved and excited by the outcome and await the next hearing, which is scheduled for the January 19.
