This makes me happy for two reasons. First, because there are demonstrated benefits to some cancer, glaucoma and AIDS patients from smoking marijuana.

Second, because it's an always-welcomed poke in Uncle Sam's eye when a state asserts its rights over the federal system. The correct answer is almost never "more government involvement".

3 There is also some interest in marijuana for control of diabetes and asthma.

The real fun will come when some state elects a governor with cluster headaches.
