Support found for medical marijuana

A recent Gallup poll of 1,004 American adults found that 75 percent favor allowing doctors to prescribe medical marijuana. Twenty-two percent said they were opposed. In mid-October, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear a case about whether doctors can talk to their patients about medical uses of marijuana, allowing states with laws recognizing pot’s medicinal benefits to stand. Doctors can prescribe marijuana in nine states.
