NY State legislature ready to legalize medical marijuana:
""I'm very optimistic the bill will pass both houses and go to the governor within the next 10 days," Assembly Health Committee Chairman Richard Gottfried (D-Manhattan) said.
"Gov. Spitzer, after flatly stating last year as a candidate he opposed medical marijuana, is now open to the legislation, aides said.
"Under the measure, to acquire marijuana a person would have to have a debilitating or life-threatening illness and would need a doctor's note certifying that marijuana would be beneficial.
"Those individuals would be limited to possessing no more than 2½ ounces of cultivated pot or 12 growing plants.
"The patients would also need to get a registration card from the state Health Department."
On a side note, Snoop Dogg says he's planning to spend alot more time in NY. Personally, I'd like to see what happens to pot crimes in NY after the bill passes. I'm down for anything that helps to end America's foolish War on Drugs.
