Historic Veto Override Would Create First New Medical Marijuana Law, Since June Supreme Court Ruling;
PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND -- Setting up a decision of potentially historic importance, Rhode Island legislative leaders have reportedly scheduled a vote to override Gov. Donald Carcieri's veto of medical marijuana legislation for Tuesday, January 3. If the override succeeds, it will make the Rhode Island the first state to enact medical marijuana legislation since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last June that state medical marijuana laws do not provide protection from federal prosecution.
Last June, the Rhode Island House and Senate approved the Marijuana Policy Project's medical marijuana bill by wide margins, but Gov. Carcieri vetoed the measure. The Senate quickly overrode the veto, but the House recessed without taking action. The vote is now expected to be on Tuesday, Jan. 3, at approximately 2:00 p.m.
