Some interesting current events
Iowa has become the first mid-western state to allow same-sex marriage.Iowa is now the third state in country following Connecticut and Massachusetts to allow gay-marriage.
Michigan is also changing laws by passing the Medical Marihuana Act. This will allow people with chronic pains and illnesses to receive marijuana as a prescribed treatment.
An interesting point from the act:
Data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reports and the Compendium of Federal Justice Statistics show that approximately 99 out of every 100 marihuana arrests in the United States are made under state law, rather than under federal law. Consequently, changing state law will have the practical effect of protecting from arrest the vast majority of seriously ill people who have a medical need to use marihuana.
This new law will allow qualified patients to possess up to 2.5 ounces and to cultivate up to 12 plants.
Now if all the states would just do it we’d be on the right path!
