LAKELAND, Fla.

A Lakeland High School student is at odds with her school over an article on medical marijuana that she wants to write and include in a school publication.

Channel Nine anchor Jorge Estevez talked with the student and found out how she plans on fighting her cause.

Abbey Laine said she loves to contribute articles for her school magazine in Lakeland.

"The more you do a story the more you know about that particular thing," Laine said.

But her recent idea for Lakeland High school's magazine, the Bagpipe, on medicinal marijuana was turned down by her teacher.

"(They said) it would be inappropriate and unacceptable," said Laine.

"To write that in the school newspaper," Estevez asked.

"Yes," she replied.

But writing the article that would have taken a look at the medicinal benefits of marijuana is personal. When Laine was 2-year-old she was diagnosed with cancer.
