Illinois Medical Marijuana Bill Falls Four Votes Short of Passage

Originally reported by Hannah Hess

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. :: Authorization, or decriminalization, of marijuana use for medicinal purposes was shot down by a slim margin Thursday by the Illinois House. Falling only four votes from passage, the long anticipated legalization of medical marijuana in Illinois was rejected. Supporters of Illinois medical marijuana, though disappointed are already preparing for the next battle.

Passage of the bill would have followed the trend of State governments decriminalizing the use of marijuana for medicinal use in order to alleviate individuals suffering from chronic pain or nausea caused by certain debilitating conditions. Instead, the Illinois House on Thursday created additional roadblocks to progress in addressing the emerging and legitimate business of medical marijuana.

Many "would be" Illinois medical marijuana patients are left with disappointment and the undesirable choice of either remaining in pain or being labeled a criminal. However moral among medical marijuana supporters remains strong! Advocates of the decriminalization of medical marijuana in Illinois are already planning pro marijuana campaigns for next year, and the year after next, until marijuana in Illinois is permitted for medicinal uses.

Marijuana Possession Arrest Rates Continue to Climb Despite Public Sentiment

Marijuana Possession Arrests on the Rise in 2010 In September, 2011 the FBI released of their annual Uniform Crime Report. In the FBI 2010 Uniform Crime Report, statistics on cannabis related arrests, while certainly not surprising to those familiar with the marijuana debate, the lack of progress in creating just laws or modifying existing laws governing the manufacturing, distribution and use of marijuana in the United States continues to frustrate pro marijuana activists. The number of arrests for marijuana related offenses in 2010 marks the second highest in United States history. Marijuana related arrests have been on the rise for decades. So what's the big deal? For supporters of pro marijuana legislation in the U.S., 2010 appeared to offer several rays of hope that laws surrounding the legal status of marijuana would actually be improved. The Obama administration, for instance, announced that the War on Drugs was finally over, a "war" ...
