WSJ -- Meanwhile, presidential hopeful and New Mexico governor Bill Richardson weighed his options on a state program to grow and distribute marijuana. He told state Health Department officials to keep planning the program, but not to implement it yet because there’s no guarantee of protection against federal prosecution. A New Mexico law, which went into effect in July, legalizes approved marijuana use for cancer, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy and HIV-AIDS, and also by some patients in hospice care. But medicinal marijuana use is illegal under federal law, and so far, no acceptable remedy has been found to keep U.S. agents from raiding New Mexico-run marijuana farms and arresting state employees, the Associated Press reports.

Безвыходное положение? Выход есть. Это выход из состава Соединенных Штатов Америки.

New Mexico is the 12th state to legalize marijuana for certain medical uses, but it’s the only one calling for state-licensed production and distribution of the drug.
