Rhode Island Adopts Permanent Medical Marijuana Program

R.I. Adopts Permanent Medical Marijuana Program
June 21, 2007 - MSNBC

PROVIDENCE -- Rhode Island lawmakers voted Thursday to permanently extend a program allowing the chronically ill to possess and smoke marijuana for pain relief.

Lawmakers in the Democrat-dominated House and Senate easily mustered the three-fifths majority needed to override Gov. Don Carcieri's veto of the legislation.

Rhode Island became the eleventh state in the country last year to legalize marijuana for medical purposes.

The program, which would have expired June 30, allows patients with cancer, AIDS and other debilitating illnesses to possess up to 12 marijuana plants and 2.5 usable ounces of the drug to ease their symptoms.

Carcieri vetoed the bill because he said Rhode Island patients are still subject to arrest under federal law. He also criticized the system because participating patients must buy marijuana from illegal dealers.

<<Carcieri vetoed the bill because he said Rhode Island patients are still subject to arrest under federal law.>>

Right, so let's allow them to be arrested under state law as well. :rolleyes:



<<He also criticized the system because participating patients must buy marijuana from illegal dealers.>>

Hey, here's a solution.  Take a look far, far west at what's going on over there at the other side of the coast.  See that?  Bingo.

What a weak argument. So they are allowed to have it but cannot obtain it legally. That is hardly a reason to deny it to them.
Holy damn, I think I see a solution here, provide a legal means for these patients to obtain their medicine. :rolleyes:

Here's the important thing: Lawmakers in the Democrat-dominated House and Senate easily mustered the three-fifths majority needed to override Gov. Don Carcieri's veto of the legislation.

Majority rules. Let your voice be heard. If everyone who believed in marijuana joined NORML, it would be as powerful as the NRA.
