Here's an interesting article about medical marijuana in California.  Since Rhode Island just passed a law allowing marijuana dispensaries, it's interesting to see how the situation is being handled in other states.  Some legislators, like those in California, have discussed decriminalizing or legalizing marijuana.  Without a change at the federal level, I don't see how it could be legalized, but decriminalization should be pursued.  With all the serious crime occurring, should we concern ourselves with marijuana use while law enforcement has more important priorities?
