• Medical marijuana may be recommended for chronic pain or nausea from chemotherapy, AIDS/HIV, multiple sclerosis, and many other ailments in certain states. However, all marijuana is still illegal according to United States federal law. The use of marijuana as medicine is highly controversial.

  On June 16, 2009, the state of Rhode Island passed a bill to allow the creation of compassion centers, which can legally distribute to approved medical marijuana patients. Rhode Island legalized medical marijuana in 2006, but until this bill, had no legal way for those approved to receive the marijuana.http://www.wpri.com/dpp/news/local_news/local_ap_ri_to_allow_ri_compassion_centers_20090616_mds
