Sadly if they would of told the landlord the father was a pilll popping addict who takes vicodin and morphine daily, they would of probably been just fine with that! Yet if you smoke legal medical marijuana, you must be a bad person and you don't deserve to live where you want to!

Marlena Martino's father is caught in one of the numerous gray areas between Colorado's medical marijuana laws and the federal government stance against pot.

Martino said her 55-year-old father was rejected from a lease at the Minnequa Shores apartment complex after she revealed that he had a medical marijuana certificate.

Managers at the apartments declined to comment on the complex's drug policy.

"We go to sign the lease and the woman brought up their policy on drugs and crime. I told her about his medical marijuana certificate and she said we couldn't sign the lease," Martino said. "What I don't understand is how can you pick and choose which laws to follow? Who are you to decide what's valid?"

Martino said her father suffers from a number of maladies, including muscular dystrophy and chronic back pain.

She said he doesn't need continuous care, but she wants her father to live nearby.
