On Drugs: 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.

On Families & Children: Outlaw "revenge porn," but don't blame broadband providers

The bill, introduced by Republican Jim Neely, would outlaw "nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images." An amendment added by Neely also would ban people from threatening to distribute those images.

Several lawmakers spoke in favor of the bill while no one appeared to speak or vote against it. The bill says communications networks, such as broadband providers, are not automatically liable if they unwittingly distribute those images.
