Doctor-recommended medical marijuana is already legal in a dozen states, with at least two more likely to legalize pot for medical uses in November. It has been shown helpful in treating nausea and pain associated with cancer, chemotherapy, HIV and hepatitis C; spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis; intra-ocular pressure in glaucoma; and a host of other conditions.
Yet the federal government refuses to recognize any valid medical use for the herb, and continues raids and arrests of medical marijuana patients and providers in states which have legalized medical use.
Patients authorized to possess or grow marijuana for medical reasons under Washington law would be limited to 24 oz of cultivated marijuana, six mature plants and 18 immature plants, according to a proposal filed by the state Department of Health July 1. An earlier DOH recommendation called for a limit of 35 harvested ounces and a 100-sq-ft garden. - Found on Digg From User alapoet Read the entire story on seattletimes.nwsource.com read more | digg storyLabels: marijuana, news, Politics
