Former Kansas Attorney General Declares Support for Medical Marijuana
From the Lawrence Journal-World:
Topeka — Former Attorney General Bob Stephan said Wednesday he supports allowing marijuana for medical purposes.
...
Stephan will lead a news conference in the Capitol on Friday by the Kansas Compassionate Care Coalition.
The coalition advocates for legal protection of patients who use medical marijuana and physicians who recommend the drug for treatment of pain.
Stephan said he has supported the legalization of marijuana for medical purposes for more than 20 years.
He said he formed this opinion based on his own experience with cancer and with talking with numerous other cancer patients.
Stephan is a Republican, according to Wikipedia. He served as the AG of Kansas from 1979 to 1995.
