MARIJUANA REPORT EXPECTED NEXT WEEK

(WASHINGTON) - The Institute of Medicine says it will release a report next
Wednesday reviewing the latest research on the medical use of marijuana.
Federal drug czar Barry McCaffrey ordered the report after 1996 elections
in Arizona and California legalized the drug's use in select medical
applications. Supporters on both sides of the medical marijuana controversy
expect the report to be significant, unbiased and virtually meaningless.
