Bill Introduced To Legalize Marijuana In Kansas

AP) — TOPEKA, Kan. - A Kansas legislator has introduced a bill that would legalize marijuana for people suffering from chronic illnesses who have a doctor's prescription for the drug. Rep. Gail Finney, a Wichita Democrat, introduced a bill that would set up state-registered "compassionate care centers" where people with prescriptions could buy marijuana.
Supporters of medical marijuana says it helps ease pain from chronic diseases.


"I just think it's the right thing to do," said Finney, who says her lupus makes her sympathetic toward those with diseases such as Parkinson's, cancer and HIV.
But Rep. Scoot Schwab, a Republican from Olathe, opposes the plan.
"Let's be honest, this would be an attempt to legalize marijuana," Schwab said Wednesday. "It has no benefit for pain management. All it does is make you crave another bag of chips."




Its a start but it won't pass.

So, this is just for case-to-case basis? What about those who are not suffering with these illnesses? Can they still use marijuana without committing a crime through it?
