ARIZONANS SUPPORT MEDICAL MARIJUANA

Two out of three Arizonans support doctors' authority to prescribe
marijuana for patients who have a medical need for it, according to a poll
by the Behavior Research Center in Phoenix.

The poll says 66 percent of the 708 heads of households who were polled
oppose federal authorities' threats to revoke the licenses of Arizona
doctors who prescribe marijuana. Twenty-seven percent supported federal
medical license revocation for prescribing pot.

The April poll had a margin of error of 3.7 percentage points.

Arizona voters in 1996 and 1998 approved the medical use of marijuana.
