rhode island senate passes medical marijuana compassion center bill


from wpri: A bill that would allow nonprofit stores in Rhode Island to sell marijuana to medical patients is headed to the governor’s desk. The state Senate passed the bill Tuesday afternoon by a 30-2 margin. The bill has already passed the House and now heads to Governor Donald Carcieri for approval. The governor vetoed similar legislation last year. If it becomes law, the bill would allow so-called compassion centers to sell marijuana to registered patients with debilitating illnesses. Right now, 680 patients are registered with the Department of Health’s medical marijuana program . State lawmakers approved the use of medical marijuana in 2006 , however they never legalized the sale of the drug. Under the current bill, Rhode Island would be the third state in the country and the first on the East Coast to approve marijuana dispensaries for medical patients. media monarchy dot com
