The Columbia Daily Tribune: on Drugs


Jim Neely: Legalize medical marijuana for debilitating diseases

for ballot initiatives that would legalize, regulate and tax medical marijuana in a variety of ways.

The House bill, approved in a 112-44 vote, would allow anyone over 18 with a terminal disease to access smokeless marijuana. People with Alzheimer's, cancer, post-traumatic stress disorder and several other "debilitating medical conditions" would also be eligible. Missouri would be the 30th state to legalize medical marijuana. Proponents said the change could help ease suffering.
