Ivanhoe Broadcast News’ Austin 8 looks at an area man’s use of medical marijuana. Estimates are that about 300000 people in the United States use medical marijuana. In April 2007, New Mexico became the 12th state to allow it — joining Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska, Maine, Nevada, Vermont, Colorado, Montana, Hawaii and Rhode Island.

HIV researcher looks like Mr. Rogers.
this is a wonderful vid!
Great news story.
WOW!!!!…. Mr. Rogers was a a doctor advocating marijuana…maybe another reason why he was such a pleasant person. : )
Legalize!
It has been used since the dawn of man.
It helps humans in so many ways!
Clothing, food, medicine, shelter, paper, plastic, fuel, oil, and much more!
It is a travesty that the Federal Government keeps arresting sick people despite the States saying it is wrong. Support MPP!
the “federal govt” has to be legally retarded.
Marijuana has medical purposes it is medicine. It does not cause cancer or brain damage and a higher risk of heart attack is a side effect of smoke inhalation not the drug. MMJ can be used in smoke-free preperations such as foods, teas, tinctures or inhaled through a vaporizor.
Sure dose and did you know that Mr.Rogers died of lung cancer…Crazy..!Happy420
WOW A major news channel that does NOT check their facts before posting a story………….hmmmmmmm
brain damage? Cancer? Heart attack?!?! from pot?!?! Man you relaly need to check your facts instead of beliving what the feds tell you (ex= you goto fda and dea web sites fgor your “facts” when its been proven that they are liars). figures
Drumbum420x, doesn’t smoking any substance increase the risks of heart attack, stroke and cancer? Not that smoking is the only way to receive the medical benefits of marijuana, but inhaling smoke is bad for people.

it said on there that the federal government HAS to declare that its unsafe not medicine and is linked to stroke heart attack and other shit… maybe the smoke can mess u up i guess…. but there is anticancer matter in cannabis so wtf…
It’s not linked to heart attack or strokes.
Unless you mean it helps recover and take less brain damage from a stroke.
Dr. Melamede … “Cannabinoids kill Cancer Cells”
Dr. Liu … “THC can kill Cancer Cells”
Dr. Di Marzo … “THC exhibits anti – tumor effects on various Cancer Cell types”
SETH Group … “Herbal (THC) compound kills brain Cancer Cells – but not normal brain cells.”
Dr. Guzman … “THC can promote the autophagic death of human and mouse Cancer Cells”
Dr. Mechoulam … “we gave THC oil drops 400 times to children 1 -13 years old with Cancer & prevented vomiting & nausea 100%”
CANCER CURE = HEMP OIL
Rick Simpson’s Cancer Cure Hemp Oil is Cannabis extract full of Cannabinoids (including THC).
brain damage!
hemp cures cancer!
I think the benefits of consuming cannabis in one’s diet from childhood would reduce the cancers in our nation. Being classified as a drug has kept it out of our diet and medical treatments long enough. Texas should lead the way for medical use and should replace the cotton fields with hemp and show America how renewable fuel from HEMP can save the farmers and the environment. Come on Texans.. demand this be considered!!!
Why wont you legalize marijuana.
Several of my friends as well as I voted for you because we thought that you would legalize it, but like many other thing you said you would do and have not done, this issue on marijuana is really made us think that there is no change in your policy, just the same old stuff as always.
You have really let your voters down.
WHAT ABOUT THE NEXT ELECTION IN 2012.
Do you want to win?
Sincerely a Marijuana lover and smoker!
Austin is the most liberal City in Texas…
