New Law Requires New Mexico to Grow, Distribute Marijuana

New Mexico has a new medical marijuana law with a twist. The law not only protects medical marijuana users from prosecution but requires New Mexico to oversee a production and distribution system for the drug. The law was passed in March and was signed by Governor Bill Richardson, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination. Other states with medical marijuana laws are Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. The distribution and use of marijuana are illegal under federal law, and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2005.

I agree with this new law in New Mexico with the marijuana. I think this law will help the states. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,287458,00.html
