A Medical Marijuana Law Gains Momentum in Albany

Submitted by John McLean, Nov 29, 2007 15:53

People who need marijuana for medical purposes should have the right to use it. It shouldn't be a big deal for people who need it to help the pain die down so they won't have to suffer from pain from a long period of time. Medical Marijuana should be legalized in my opinion.
