|  MN: Minnesota Bill Approved By Second House Panel Minnesota Bill Approved By Second House Panel 03.22.07|drug war chronicle Members of a Minnesota House committee Monday voted to approve a medical marijuana bill despite the objections of law enforcement. The House Public Safety and Civil Law Committee approved the bill, HF655, on an 11-8 vote. It has already passed the House Health and Human Services Committee and is now headed for the House Finance Committee. A Senate companion bill passed the Senate Health, Housing and Family Committee a month ago. It currently sits in the Senate Judiciary Committee. The bill would allow seriously ill patients to use marijuana upon obtaining a recommendation from a doctor and registering with the state. But in an effort to address law enforcement concerns, the public safety committee amended the bill so that individual patients cannot grow their own supply. Instead, sanctioned nonprofit organizations would be permitted to grow up to 12 plants and 2.5 ounces per patient. The law enforcement contingent was out in force at the committee hearing. "Immediate and obvious areas of concern include existing conflicts with federal law, the potential for youth access and abuse, and the potential for this action being used as a platform for legalizing marijuana on a larger scale," Mitch Weinzetl of the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association told KARE TV 11 News in Minneapolis-St. Paul. "Smoking is harmful to the human body in any form, and it's particularly harmful with marijuana, which has significantly more dangerous chemicals than tobacco," said Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom. But while committee members attempted to ease law enforcement worries by amending the bill as noted above, they seemed more moved by the testimony of patients like Don Haumont, who suffers from liver cancer and other ailments. He told lawmakers only one thing helps: marijuana. "I ate more, I gained weight, I felt healthier, I felt that I could take care of myself, I could do things," he said. "I could work and be productive." A former California resident, Hauman said he could smoke legally there. "And then when I moved here, it was harder to obtain and the quality was less," he said. While law enforcement and Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) oppose the bill, it is gathering bipartisan support in the legislature. "It's more of a left and right coming together, which I think is a very good bill and one Minnesota should become the 13th state to pass," said Rep. Steve Sviggum (R-Kenyon), who once opposed such a measure. Eleven states have working medical marijuana programs. New Mexico is about to become the 12th once Gov. Bill Richardson (D) signs the bill that passed there last week.

Law enforcement officers, as individuals, certainly have the right to say whatever they want about the laws, just like any other citizens. When law enforcement officers and organizations in their official capacities make statements about what the laws should be, they are out of line and interfering with the democratic process. Quote:

| Narcotics such as morphine, hydromorphone, oxycodone, meperidine, even methadone...all are legal by prescription. Street heroin...is not. It's a very clear distinction. And one that serves a useful puropse. Why should marijuana be any different? Medical marijuana legislation is not about legalizing the drug for every adult to enjoy in their private lives, which is the extreme nightmare scenario most prohibitionists tout. Not that I liken marijuana to street heroin, since heroin is responsible for tens of thousands of hospitalizations and deaths yearly, whereas marijauna ...is not. But where is the "scientific evidence" that morphine or percocet ease pain? There are no randomized trials of this...it's just the basic truth. Same is true for pot. I am sick and tired of the reefer madness, in a world where alcohol and tobacco kill HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people every year. Every piece of medical marijuana legislation that is passed is one step closer to undoing this twisted logic.
