BILL THAT WOULD ALLOW MEDICINAL MARIJUANA USE TO BE INTRODUCED

A bipartisan group of legislators plans to introduce a bill next week that
would prohibit state and local law enforcement officials from prosecuting
people who use marijuana if their doctors have recommended it for medical
reasons.

The measure would allow doctors to recommend smoking marijuana to alleviate
the symptoms or effects of illnesses such as glaucoma and cancer. Del.
Donald E. Murphy, a Baltimore County Republican and chief sponsor, said the
bill is intended for people who would be helped by marijuana but do not get
relief from medicines derived from it.
