PANEL BACKS MARIJUANA, HEROIN BAN

Bill concerns medicinal use; alternative remedies cited

The House Courts of Justice Committee voted yesterday for banning the use
of marijuana and heroin as prescribed medicines in Virginia.


The actual publication date was Monday, 27 Jan 1997! With a little help
from our roboeditor, it got right past us. Guess we were working so hard on
getting the news out we forgot which year it is.

Thank you "roy b. scherer" for pointing this out
to us!

Oh, and thanks to the folks who have replied to our request for more news
service editing volunteers. I will be providing the volunteers with details
on our process over the weekend, so if there is anyone else interested in
helping, please send me a note now.
