Smoke Weed

New York could possible become the 13th state to allow patients to use marijuana as a form of medication. A group by the name of “Patients to Push for Medical Marijuana Law” currently has TV ads playing across New York trying to persuade their senators to pass a bill making this a reality.

Some people are still concerned this won’t change anything, even if the senate does pass the bill because The U.S. Supreme Court has said the issue is a matter of federal law. While it may be a federal issue, I couldn’t disagree more that passing this bill won’t change anything. 12 other states have already passed similar legislation, and if enough states pass their own bills allowing the use of medical marijuana, the federal government might come to their senses and legalize medical marijuana federally. That’s how things change, local grassroots changes from the ground up.

When there is an update as to how the senate votes, we will have those results here.
