An initiated act proposed by the Arkansas Alliance for Medical Marijuana
would legalize marijuana's use for people with "debilitating medical
conditions" who obtain a registry card from the state. The proposed act
defines the eligible medical conditions as cancer, glaucoma, HIV-positive
status, AIDS, or treatment for those conditions. Also included in the
definition are chronic or debilitating diseases or conditions that cause
one or more of the following: wasting syndrome, severe pain, severe nausea,
seizures, severe and persistent muscle spasms. The definition included in
an article July 3 was incorrect.
