US OH: Docs for Dope
Cincinnati City Beat, 17 Dec 2008 - Ohio Senate Considers New Medical Marijuana Legislation Backed by Doctors Marijuana is a medicine. Not many doctors are willing to make that kind of statement publicly, especially when U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration raids result in the jailing of physicians, terminally ill patients and statelicensed marijuana growers in states where the medicinal use of marijuana is permitted by law.

US OH: Column: Medical Marijuana Mess Confronts Michiganders
The Blade, 05 Dec 2008 - ANN ARBOR - Yesterday, medical marijuana officially became legal in Michigan, except, well, it isn't. That is, you can use it legally, as long as you don't ever try to obtain any of it. And all this has bewildered state bureaucrats scratching their heads, trying to figure out what to do.

US OH: Editorial: Medical Marijuana Up North
The Blade, 29 Oct 2008 - STATE Rep. Fulton Sheen, a Republican from the western part of Michigan, is a reliably conservative vote on most issues, from opposition to abortion to support for the National Rifle Association. Originally, he predictably regarded the idea of legalizing marijuana use for certain suffering patients as a bad one. But that was before he saw it ease the symptoms of his dying brother. "When I saw the relief it gave him, it changed my mind," he said. As a result, he will vote yes on Nov. 4 for state Proposal One. His position is the sensible one. Proposal One will not, as opponents have sometimes falsely argued, turn Michigan into a drug supermarket, with "pot shops" on every corner. What it does do is permit doctors to prescribe marijuana use for patients with glaucoma, HIV-AIDS, cancer, and certain other conditions, provided they are first approved by the Department of Community Health. While the state would not get in the business of supplying marijuana, those approved could grow limited amounts of the drug "in an enclosed and locked facility." Qualified patients would be required to get a special ID card. Opponents concede that marijuana can have beneficial effects in some cases, notably glaucoma, but claim that any benefit can be obtained by taking the drug in pill form, something that most sufferers hotly dispute.
