An initiated act proposed by the Arkansas Alliance for Medical Marijuana 
would legalize marijuana's use for people with "debilitating medical 
conditions" who obtain a registry card from the state. The proposed act 
defines the eligible medical conditions as cancer, glaucoma, HIV-positive 
status, AIDS, or treatment for those conditions. Also included in the 
definition are chronic or debilitating diseases or conditions that cause 
one or more of the following: wasting syndrome, severe pain, severe nausea, 
seizures, severe and persistent muscle spasms. The definition included in 
an article July 3 was incorrect.
