Medical marijuana legalized in Connecticut

Connecticut on Friday became the 17th U.S. state to legalize the medical use of marijuana.

The state's Governor Dannel Malloy signed into law legislation allowing licensed physicians to certify an adult patient's use of marijuana for medical purposes, according to a statement from the governor's office.

The new law puts in place restrictions to prevent the kind of abuse that has plagued some of the 16 other states and the District of Columbia where pot is legal for medical use.

"For years, we've heard from so many patients with chronic diseases who undergo treatments like chemotherapy or radiation and are denied the palliative benefits that medical marijuana would provide," Governor Malloy said.

Jamaicans are happy.. Yo Man, we got more demand!

What does this mean? Medical MJ comes from Jamaica? Medical MJ will increase demand for Bob Marley's music? Just useless nonsense?

I'm pretty sure it was a joke. I'd suggest lightening up or are you trying to justify getting a Rx card because you've got that agro disease?

I know it was a "joke" that's why I replied a stupid joke with a stupid joke.

We'll see how the "restrictions" work in preventing the abuse by the dopers who have no or fabricated medical problems......

As you well know, law enforcement resouces are limited. Which do you think would do the most good for society: a) having leos focus on preventing/stopping abuse of medical marijuana; or b) having leos focus on preventing/stopping abuse of other prescription drugs like xanax & oxycotin?

c) all of the above.
