At the West Virginia State Capitol a
controversial bill is now up for debate.
West Virginia Delegate Mike Manypenny
(D-Taylor) introduced a bill Thursday that would allow people with debilitating
medical conditions, such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, and HIV/AIDS, to use
medical marijuana if a doctor recommends it.
The legislation would also establish a
state regulated system from marijuana growing and distribution centers.
Twenty states and the District of Columbia have adopted laws that
allow people with certain debilitating medical conditions to use medical
marijuana with a recommendation from their doctors.
