Sister's battle with Cancer convinced him

The Anniston Star reports "Rep. K.L. Brown plans to introduce medical marijuana bill in Montgomery" Oct. 2:

Before Rep. K.L. Brown’s sister succumbed to breast cancer 25 years ago, she used medicinal marijuana to ease her suffering.

Brown now wants legislation to provide similar relief to other chronically ill Alabama patients.

A Republican of Jacksonville, Brown said Friday that he will sponsor a bill during the 2012 legislative session to legalize medicinal marijuana in Alabama.

“My sister used it very successfully to control her nausea and pain,” Brown said. “I think the time has come for the state to consider medical marijuana.”

Editor's note - This website fully applauds Rep. Brown's efforts, and urges any and all Alabama LR readers to thank him for introducing this legislation.
