Rhode Island Senate Votes to Create Medical Marijuana Dispensaries
Good news from Rhode Island:
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Rhode Island Senate Wednesday afternoon approved a bill to allow licensed dispensaries -- known as "compassion centers" -- to grow and sell marijuana to the estimated 600 patients who currently have the state's blessing to use the drug for medicinal purposes.
The vote was 35-2. The bill now moves to the House. [Providence Journal]
This should get through the House, but Gov. Carcieri vetoed a similar bill last year and is likely to do the same this time around. Click here to contact him.
