RI Gov. vetoes bill to study medmj distribution

Gov. vetoes 22 bills, including those on marijuana – Boston.com
PROVIDENCE, R.I.—Gov. Don Carcieri has vetoed 22 bills, including those dealing with releasing public records, distributing medical marijuana and expunging criminal records.

The Republican governor vetoed the bills Wednesday and sent them back to the Democratic-dominated General Assembly.

He vetoed [a] bill that would have created a commission to recommend a way to distribute medical marijuana to patients.

Not a bill to create dispensaries, mind you, but a bill to create a commission to investigate potential methods of distributing medical marijuana.  Maybe not even dispensaries; maybe they come back and recommend that there is no legal way to distribute medical marijuana.  But the governor won’t even let them investigate something to do with medical marijuana.  Pathetic.

The good news is that medical marijuana itself was passed by overriding Carcieri’s veto, and the bill he just vetoed got substantial majorities in the Senate and Assembly.
