In New Mexico, medical marijuana isn’t a punch line

In New Mexico, medical marijuana isn’t a punch line | Beckley News : Cannabis - Marijuana | Scoop.it

A bill probably will be filed in the Iowa Legislature next year seeking to making it legal for people with certain illnesses that have confounded traditional treatment efforts to obtain marijuana for medical use.

And it likely won’t be taken seriously. It might not even get a committee vote.

 

In fact, the last high-profile development in Iowa on the issue was a prank. State Rep. Clel Baudler, R-Greenfield, traveled to California in 2010 and pretended to have hemorrhoids so he could show just how easy it is to get a prescription for pot. What a hoot. Even the House Ethics Committee laughed it off. Cheech and Chong and Clel. Classic.

 

But if Baudler had gone to New Mexico, his stunt would have gone up in smoke.
