MICHIGAN MAY LEAD WAY ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA

GREEN BAY (AP) - Wisconsinites hoping to legalize medical marijuana
are looking to Michigan to set an example.

A Michigan proposition letting people with serious or terminal
illnesses use marijuana with a doctor's order passed with a
two-thirds majority in Tuesday's election.

Federal law still prohibits use of the drug in all circumstances.

Gary Storck is director of the nonprofit group Madison NORML. He says
Michigan could lead the way for the other Great Lakes states. The
Wisconsin Nurses Association and the Wisconsin Public Health
Association favor legalizing medical marijuana.
