Medical Marijuana: Should Middle America Care?
A one hour special concerning the continuing national debate over medical marijuana. Guests include journalist Sarah Phelan of the San Francisco Bay Guardian, Berkeley family practitioner Frank Lucido, M.D., and educator Michael Whitty PhD who teaches in the School of Business at the University of Detroit and the University of San Francisco. Whitty also serves on the MI advisory board of NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws).
Discussion focuses on California’s ‘Compassionate Use Act’, passed overwhelmingly by voters more than 10 years ago, and a Michigan ballot initiative for Nov 2008, launched with the goal of making MI the 12th State and the first in the Mid-West to legalize marijuana use for medicinal purposes when recommended by a physician.
