(Sorry this took me a while. News has been screwed up around here for
|
|
the last week or so.)
|
|
|
|
Here, as promised, is the list of state statutes recognizing the
|
|
medical value of marijuana. There are only 30 states in this list (29
|
|
+ Mass). ACT (the Alliance for Cannabis Therapeutics) claims that
|
|
there are 34. If anyone knows what the other four are, I'd like to be
|
|
informed.
|
|
|
|
Thanks once again to ACT for the info.

If you would like more information on marijuana's medical use please
|
|
contact the Alliance at (202) 483-8595.

The Alliance for Cannabis Therapeutics (ACT) is a Washington based
|
|
patient-rights group founded in 1980. For more than a decade the
|
|
Alliance has provided patients and policy makers with up-to-date
|
|
information on marijuana's important therapeutic uses.
|
|
|
|
(I am not connected with ACT in any way. I merely requested
|
|
information from them, and they complied. I am now in the process of
|
|
passing some of that information on to others.)

|
Amazingly enough the last three states that I have lived in are on the
|
|
list. Texas, North Carolina and Oklahoma. If you can convince the
|
|
legistators in *these* three states about something as radical as the
|
|
medical use of marijuana, the evidence in favor must be overwhelming
|
|
indeed. (Believe me, none of the legislatures in these states could
|
|
be considered 'liberal' by any stretch of the imagination.)
