Rhode Island Legalizes Medical Marijuana!

Friends:

Here is some good news to begin 2006!

NORML is pleased to announce that Rhode Island has officially become the 11th state to legalize the use of marijuana for medical purposes. (See Associated Press article below.) This afternoon the Rhode Island State House voted 59-13 to pass the Edward O. Hawkins and Thomas C. Slater Medical Marijuana Act, overriding Governor Donald Carcieri's veto. Since the Senate had already voted to override the veto, this bill now officially becomes law in Rhode Island.

Rhode Island is the third state to legalize medical marijuana through the state legislature, rather than voter initiative, proving that public policy makers are finally starting to catch up to public opinion on the issue of safe access to medical cannabis. 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.

NORML would like to thank everyone who worked so tirelessly to ensure this bill's passage, in particular the Marijuana Policy Project, The Rhode Island State Nurses Association, and the Rhode Island Patient Advocacy Coalition. Most importantly, we would like to thank those of you who took the time to write your state legislators in support of this issue. NORML generated thousands of letters from concerned citizens such as yourself to members of the Rhode Island House and Senate in support of medical marijuana. Without your strong and unwavering support, this victory would not have been possible.

NORML will be focusing on state-based law reforms in 2006. Please consider making a donation to NORML to assist in our state-based law reform efforts.

We thank you for your support on this important issue. Thanks to concerned people like yourself, sick and dying patients in Rhode Island no longer have to fear arrest or prosecution for using the medicine that best suits their needs.

Regards,

Allen St. Pierre
Executive Director
NORML

Dont forget Dumb and Dumber, Something about mary, Outside Providence, Federal Hill, Dels Lemonade, Coffe Milk, and chowdah

Now I just gotta find someone who can be perscribed with it but dont want it and exploit them. Or learn how to fake symptoms and try to get perscribed with it myself...can someone point me to where they explain how this works exactly? How do you get a perscription?
