POT TO BE LEGAL FOR SICK

Hawaii is set to become the first state to enact a medical marijuana
law through its legislature, following passage of a bill legalizing
the medical use of the drug in the state Senate. The bill removes
state-level penalties for seriously ill people whose doctors prescribe
the use of marijuana to ease pain. The bill allows such patients to
acquire, possess, cultivate, distribute, transport and use marijuana
for medical reasons.
