Kennebec Journal: New opposition has emerged in the debate about Question 5, a proposed expansion of the state's medical-marijuana law that would allow nonprofit dispensaries to distribute the drug. Don LaRouche, of Madison, a medical-marijuana patient, and the Maine Prosecutors Association recently took public stands against the measure, which will be on the Nov. 3 ballot.
LaRouche said he's the spokesman for Maine Citizens for Medical Marijuana, an offshoot of Maine Vocals, a group that has for years wanted to legalize marijuana. On this campaign, LaRouche is opposing a citizen initiative brought forward by the Maine Marijuana Policy Initiative, a Lewiston-based group working to expand the current medical-marijuana law passed by voters in 1999. "I've talked to people who have signed the petition and said they had no idea what was in it," he said.
The ballot question adds to the number of medical conditions for which a physician can prescribe marijuana and allows the creation of nonprofit dispensaries. The state Department of Health and Human Services would oversee the dispensaries, and patients would have the option of getting an identification card to present to law enforcement to show they are medical users.

Very good web site. Nice commenting system. I’m sorry for the off-topic write-up, but I was incredibly pleased with Djokovic’s play in the final of the Australian OPen this yr. The guy is probably unbeatable. He proved he had been as formidable as stainlesss steel. Only think about he he could defeat Nadal who had previously been so encouraged to gain and really was so excited up in the 5th set. Now i’m commencing to believe that Djokovic has been doing some spiritual work to bring some aids on his side to help him secure this kind of matches up against the very best players in the world
