PHARMACY BOARD URGED TO OK POT

LINCOLN -- As his wife was slowly dying from cancer, Craig, Neb., farmer DeJay Monson turned to something that had helped him overcome seizures and migraine headaches arising from a childhood school-bus accident.

Feeding his wife, Dana, marijuana, baked in foods or infused in liquids, returned some function to her life, Monson said Monday, fighting back tears.

The pot was much more effective than morphine and other drugs she was given for the pain, he said.  According to Monson, the growth of the massive tumors in his wife's chest slowed considerably, allowing her to live longer and enjoy her five children before she died this spring.
