For the second time, the Rhode Island legislature has over-ruled the Republican governor's veto of a medical marijuana law. This time the over-ride was even more overwhelming: 58-11 in the House and 29-4 in the Senate. There are now eleven free states which allow the sick to use the medicine they want. The decisive Rhode Island vote is encouraging for a looming congressional vote preventing the feds from interfering in state marijuana laws.
