NEEDLE POINTS
Britain's Labor government now plans to legalize cannabis(or marijuana)for
medical uses, according to a March 24 report from Reuters.
The move surprises some, but is said to be a compromise between Mo
Mowlam,the cabinet minister in charge of anti-drug strategies,who wanted a
study on full decriminalization of marijuana,and Prime Minister Tony Blair,
who preferred no change.
Meantime,in California,the people voted for medicalization of marijuana in
1996 and patients still have trouble getting authorities to recognize their
rights.
