HARRISBURG The Pennsylvania State Nurses Association on Thursday became the first medical professional group in the commonwealth to publicly support a bill legalizing medical marijuana.

The group, representing more than 212,000 registered nurses in Pennsylvania, said it was backing Senate Bill 1182, which would protect patients who want to use medicinal marijuana and the health-care professionals who recommend it, from prosecution.

"We have been hearing a lot from our patients and their families about it, especially from those with seizure disorders, where traditional medical treatments are not effective," said Betsy Snook, the association's CEO and a nurse.

She said the group's endorsement was a reflection of nurses heeding their code of ethics "to bring about social change and bring about symptom relief for patients."



The bill, known as the "Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Act," will be the subject of a hearing Tuesday before the Senate Law and Justice Committee. Snook said association members might testify

:D And so it begins

Good!

Good start.

It's inevitable, the brick house is slowly turning into a glass house, and it'll be no time until a major victory for liberty is won all across the country.

Congrats, mundanes. You're doing good. Now let's keep this going, finish this, and then move onto the next liberty issue.

No doubt, but at least on this issue common sense... well, sort of common sense, is prevailing.

Common sense to those who profit the most from drug laws is a tad skewed...

Cops, lawyers, judges, prisons, counselors, treatment centers, social services, etc.........The fastest growing segment of tax-ticks in the last half century...

And "they" are the politicians.......

That "our side" is even getting print honestly amazes me....

On our local news, this morning, they had a response from a treatment center. Oh, and they are so opposed. they have treated thousands with a "psychological addiction" to weed.
