Medical Marijuana Approved in R.I.
by Last Night in Little Rock
Medical marijuana was approved in Rhode Island today when the legislature overrode Governor Carcieri's veto, as reported this afternoon on NYTimes.com and the Providence Journal. The bill is here in .pdf format.
Rhode Island becomes the eleventh state to legalize medical marijuana, according to a NORML e-mail:
Rhode Island joins Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington State in protecting sick and dying patients who find relief in medical marijuana.
Only three states have done it through the legislature. The other states have done it by initiative petition.
