- (Sorry this took me a while. News has been screwed up around here for
- the last week or so.)
-
- Here, as promised, is the list of state statutes recognizing the
- medical value of marijuana. There are only 30 states in this list (29
- + Mass). ACT (the Alliance for Cannabis Therapeutics) claims that
- there are 34. If anyone knows what the other four are, I'd like to be
- informed.
-
- Thanks once again to ACT for the info.

- If you would like more information on marijuana's medical use please
- contact the Alliance at (202) 483-8595.
-
- The Alliance for Cannabis Therapeutics (ACT) is a Washington based
- patient-rights group founded in 1980. For more than a decade the
- Alliance has provided patients and policy makers with up-to-date
- information on marijuana's important therapeutic uses.
-
- (I am not connected with ACT in any way. I merely requested
- information from them, and they complied. I am now in the process of
- passing some of that information on to others.)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Amazingly enough the last three states that I have lived in are on the
- list. Texas, North Carolina and Oklahoma. If you can convince the
- legistators in *these* three states about something as radical as the
- medical use of marijuana, the evidence in favor must be overwhelming
- indeed. (Believe me, none of the legislatures in these states could
- be considered 'liberal' by any stretch of the imagination.)
