A Kansas Senate committee has tabled debate on a bill that would implement a medical marijuana program in 2025. That means the legislation is unlikely to advance before state lawmakers finish their work in early April, leaving advocates and patients upset.
Alejandro Rangel-Lopez says lawmakers who refuse to legalize medical marijuana are responsible for the needless suffering of Kansans.
After two days of Senate hearings on proposed legislation, there appears to be little hope for change this year.
Rangel-Lopez, a Dodge City resident who has appeared before the Legislature previously to advocate for voting rights and immigration policy, said there were 17 arrests for possession of marijuana in Ford County between November and February.

...""I am disappointed that some legislators are saying they don’t want to move forward with legalizing medical marijuana this year – effectively turning their backs on our veterans and those with chronic pain and seizure disorders," Kelly said."

This society worries far to much about marijuana, not nearly enough about alcohol.
The worst thing about merrywanna is being caught with it.
