DE Medical Marijuana

From Yahoo News:
"Delaware legalizes medical marijuana"

WILMINGTON, Delaware (Reuters) – Delaware became the 16th state on Friday to legalize marijuana for medical use after the governor signed the bill into law. The law allows patients who certify they have a serious medical condition such as cancer to possess up to six ounces, or 170 grams, of marijuana. State-licensed centers will be allowed to grow the marijuana and dispense it to patients 18 and older. Democratic Governor Jack Markell signed the bill in private without a ceremony, according to his office. The state Senate passed the measure on Wednesday by a 17-4 vote.

^ This is one more step in the right direction. I firmly believe that medical marijuana should be legal in every state and that the Federal Government should stop going after states that have state-licensed centers and are helping their residents. Medical marijuana is legal in: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and Washington DC. There are some states (like CA) where it seems all you have to do is cough and they give you a medical marijuana prescription. I think that is an abuse. It should be tightly state-controlled and accessible to those that need it to help stop their pain. ^
