medical marijuana – Page 2

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.

Broken Cord: An Anthology of Writing on Alzheimer’s and Dementia

We are looking to raise seed money for an anthology of writing on Alzheimer’s and dementia. The anthology will be the first project from a new small press. All proceeds will go to research and care groups. Contributors who donate $20 or more will get copies of the anthology and a mention on the acknowledgements page. Writers, we are looking for poems, fiction, and essays on dementia and Alzheimer’s. They can be from any perspective — care-givers, family, the person with dementia.
