Dave Chappelle, for example, often includes marijuana use in his sketches and stand-up in a manner that appears to represent the norm rather than the margins of acceptable behavior.

It would allow prescriptions for those suffering from a range of maladies, including AIDS, glaucoma, cancer and multiple sclerosis to possess up to two ounces of the drug with a valid prescription. Medical marijuana bills have already passed in 11 other states. A number of problems arise from the passing of the bill.
