Scott Martin, a 12-year veteran with the Buffalo Fire Department said doctors prescribed him “OxyContin and later tramadol shots” in his lower spine to treat his back pain. “Imagine getting an epidural every three or four months,” he said. “I’m not getting the injections anymore because of this medical marijuana. I’m off opiates.” So he took legal action to get his job back.

Recently, Supreme Court Justice Catherine Nugent Panepinto decided that Martin could take legal action to get his job back. However, Panepinto refused to reinstate him as requested.
