| Nurses Association comes out in favor of medical marijuana Ben Jones | Appleton Post Crescent | 11/27/2005 The Wisconsin Nurses Association testified in support of a medical marijuana bill sponsored by Rep. Gregg Underheim, R-Oshkosh, at an Assembly committee hearing Tuesday. Assembly Bill 740 provides a "medical necessity defense" for marijuana-related prosecutions and property seizures. "It is difficult for nurses to remain silent when seriously ill patients are denied access to an effective medical treatment," Gina Dennik-Champion, executive director of the nurses association, said in a news release. "We support this legislation because there is medical research that indicates that marijuana can serve as a form of medical treatment for specific health problems such as nausea, vomiting, pain, and glaucoma when other treatments fail."
