Remember when Illinois let all of it's death row inmates off death row, and gave them all life w/o the possibility? Governor Ryan(I think it was) said he pardoned them down to a life sentence because he said he knew there were some inmates on death row that were wrongly convicted.
The great state of Illinois.... hmmph.
Illinois has legislation going to a vote for medical marijuana. It's passed the senate, and is now waiting for a vote by the house.
IF that actually happens, I'd be willing to bet that you'll probably have to be half-dead to get a MMJ card, and even then, you probably wont be able to grow your own medication.
I hate this state, and have zero faith in it's lawmakers. Lisa Madigans a JOKE!
