The story comes from the Madison, Wis., weekly Isthmus. The interesting part is that the legislator most interested in getting the ball rolling is a Republican cancer survivor.
Will Wisconsin Allow Pot As Medicine?

When support for an issue approaches 80% among Wisconsin residents, you would think that our state representatives would be falling all over themselves to follow the will of the people. But when the issue is legalization of marijuana for medicinal purposes, things get complicated...

No, it's not my plant. I used to smoke pot, but for me it was recreation, not medication.

Maybe if I had tried a different drug delivery system than a 3-foot Graphix bong...
