    Not much, but it's a start here in CT. Restrictions on the conditions for getting it are strict, but again, it'll be better than nothing if it passes. The opening of the floodgates has to start somewhere.

    Here's the actual bill for those interested: AN ACT CONCERNING THE PALLIATIVE USE OF MARIJUANA.

    Old news =) It actually passed a few weeks ago ... I know i posted it back when it did.

    Now if they would just hurry the fuck up with it.

    Hopefully the first definition will help keep the bogus MMJ users from getting cards and screwing it up for those of us who actually qualify ...

    Uh not according to the voting sheet: Public Health Committee - Vote Tally Sheet

    Says the vote just took place today, and all the news sites have picked it up today, so who knows. Maybe it's just another step further *shrug*

    Now with Jodi Rell out of office we can finally get something done.

    Is it possible in the future that this law will be ammended? Maybe making the qualifications for medicinal marijuana less tight? Any input appreciated. Also is there any chance of decriminalisation in the future for CT?

    That does suck. Also any gastro-intestinal, or digestive disorder should be on the list for fucking sure.
