"R.I. compassion center bill heading to the Senate floor — act now This has been an amazing week for the move to improve medical marijuana access in Rhode Island. On Wednesday, the Senate Health and Human Services Committee unanimously passed a compassion center bill (5-0, with three absent). That means the next Senate vote on S.B. 2693 will be the full floor! On Tuesday, the House Health, Education, and Welfare Committee heard compelling testimony on a twin House bill, H.B. 7888. If you haven't done so yet, please let your legislators know you support protecting patients and ask other Rhode Islanders to do the same. Constituent calls and e-mails were key to passing …

Here is my most recent Blog... Enjoy! Alison xx LEAP Blog… April 10th, 2008 Dying for Compassion Hi. Been a rough last while reading stories in the last few weeks like the one I’m going to write about here. The story that I’m going to tell you here is the story of Jayci Yaeger and is one of both triumph and sadness. Hopefully people will take much from this Blog, including the fact that people who are caught up in the world of illegal drugs - do not belong in the legal system. How many times do we have to say, “there is no room for drugs in a legal realm!” Where in the Lord’s name - is Compassion?? This week I will reiterate things I have said in p…

PENALTIES for cultivating cannabis hydroponically and amphetamine production will be drastically increased under proposed new legislation. The Government's aim is to curb the trade in very strong cannabis and have the courts treat amphetamine use and production as seriously as the most serious of illicit drugs - heroin. Attorney-General Michael Atkinson said the Government regarded amphetamines as "a scourge in our society" and a drug that needs to be treated on the same level as heroin. Mr Atkinson said the Government had pledged before the 2006 state election that it would legislate to ensure courts treated the sale and manufacture of amphatemines, ecstasy and sim…

Cannabis flavoured candies that contain no THC have been made illegal in Georgia because they are considered a gateway to drugs and a dangerous lifestyle.
