AUSTRALIA'S CAPITAL TO ALLOW MEDICAL PRESCRIPTION OF POT

New Laws will allow doctors in Australia's national capital, Canberra, to
presribe marijuana to their patients.

Pot has already been decriminalised in Canberra (or to be precise, The
Australian Capital Territory), but is still illegal in all other Australian
states and terrotiries.

The Laws, announced by the ACT Legislative Assembly,  will allow doctors to
prescribe pot if they believe it can treat a specific physical or mental
condition. The only restriction is that Doctors will have to keep detailed
research histories of the relevant patients.

MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW!!!!

It's only a matter of time, folks.
