MONTEL WILLIAMS COPES WITH MARIJUANA

ALBANY, New York - Montel Williams threw his support behind legalizing
medical marijuana in New York, saying pot helps him cope with multiple
sclerosis.

Williams, who was diagnosed with the disease in 1999, said he uses
marijuana every night to relieve pain in his legs and feet. "I'm breaking
the law every day, and I will continue to break the law," Williams, host of
the Montel Williams Show, said. He said prescription painkillers and
morphine failed to control his tremors and spasms.
