MINNESOTA SENATE APPROVES USE OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA
Debate Centers on Cops' Concerns and Patients' Pain
The Minnesota Senate voted 36-28 on Wednesday to approve the use of
medical marijuana in the state, clearing the way for final passage of
the bill and setting up a potential showdown with Gov. Tim Pawlenty
over the issue.
The bill allows cancer and AIDS patients and others suffering from
debilitating illnesses to, with a doctor's approval, grow up to 12
plants or possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana. It would provide
photo IDs to patients and regulate nonprofit marijuana dispensaries.
