The Dayton Daily News informs us that State Sen. Tom Roberts wants to legalize Marijuana for medicinal use.

"Our laws should reflect the latest in medical research, which has shown that medical cannabis has a variety of benefits for treating pain, nausea and other symptoms related to a wide range of disease," Roberts said in a prepared statement.

The plan would set up a state regulated system of care. The Health and Agriculture Departments would be authorized to set up an advisory board to:

• Consider granting medicinal use of cannabis in cases of debilitated medical conditions.

• Consider applications for and renewals of registry identification cards for qualified patients and primary caregivers.

• Provide recommendations for the safe use and efficient growing of medicinal cannabis.

Alright Ohio! Very progressive thinking you've got over there. I'm glad someone is recognizing the legit research being done on Marijuana and not the BS from the FDA.
