STATE SEEKS MEDICAL POT LIMITS
A Department of Health meeting with interest groups about a legal
limit on medical-marijuana supplies has been opened for the public to
observe from an separate room today.
The agency expects to miss its July 1 deadline for setting a limit for
a 60-day supply for medical-marijuana users. But a draft rule is
expected to be submitted by then for public hearings and rule-making
later this summer, DOH spokesman Donn Moyer said.
Activists want to see a larger supply of pot allowed for patients
under the 1998 voter-approved medical-marijuana law. But some
expressed fears that state health regulators would meet behind closed
doors with police and prosecutors to discuss a lower-than-appropriate
limit.
