This article comes from the NORML.com frontline and it's pretty interesting because the politician pushing for pot once boasted "never in a million years" would he want cannabis legalized. He got in a major car accident and after a few years of taking heavy painkillers he is starting to see the light, so to speak, of the potential medicinal qualities of this ancient herb.
If only President Bush and the rest of the Republican party would get into accidents that would leave them in extreme pain, eh?
This bill, if passed, would make New York the 13th state in the U.S. with a medical marijuana law. New Mexico recently became the 12th last April.
