SETTING IT STRAIGHT MEDICAL MARIJUANA STORY CORRECTED
In Friday's edition, an Associated Press story about a medical
marijuana hearing coming before the Supreme Court erroneously reported
that part of the question before justices involved whether states
could adopt such laws. That specific issue is not part of the case
before the court. Rather, the justices will decide whether federal
agents have the authority to prosecute individuals who are abiding by
their state's medical marijuana law.
