MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Gov. Jim Doyle says he supports legalizing medical
marijuana in Wisconsin if a law can be written that restricts its use to
people who have a doctor's prescription.
At an appearance in Wausau, Doyle says he has no problem with the use of
marijuana to treat severe pain and other medical conditions, if it's
prescribed by a doctor.
Doyle's comments come after a decision by the Obama administration not
to prosecute users and suppliers of medical marijuana in the 14 states
where it's been legalized. The decision is a clear break from the
policies of the Bush administration.
The governor says restricting the use of medical marijuana makes no
sense when doctors can already prescribe more dangerous drugs like
morphine.
