The state Senate approved legislation yesterday that would allow patients suffering from wasting syndrom and debilitating pain to use marijuana. As I write in this week’s Dispatches, which I’ll post to our site later today, this is the compassionate thing to do. Kudos to the Senators who backed it and let’s hope the Assembly moves its version, sponsored by Reed Gusciora, through the process and to the governor’s desk sooner rather than later.
