LEGISLATURE POISED TO OK MARIJUANA FOR MEDICAL USE
The Minnesota Senate today is set to approve the use of marijuana for
people who are critically ill or in excruciating pain.
The House may soon follow - the measure survived its fifth committee
hearing today on a 20-14 vote and will soon be on its way to a floor vote.
Although there are differences between the House and Senate measures,
both essentially would set up a state system allowing qualified
patients to receive marijuana from special nonprofit organizations to
ease their pain and symptoms. Backers believe that marijuana can help
those patients in ways traditional drugs cannot.
