Laetrile legalization advances;
marijuana attempt withdrawn
3 WANT TO
By Randy Essex
After long and emotional debate Friday,
the Legislature advanced a bill allowing
Laetrile use in the state, and did not con
sider an amendment proposing the legaliza
tion of marijuana for therapeutic uses.
The amendment, introduced and then
withdrawn by Neligh Sen. John DeCamp,
would allow . doctors to prescribe mari
juana to glaucoma patients and to cancer
patients undergoing chermotherapy treat
ments. DeCamp said he withdrew the amend
ment so supporters of the Laetrile bill
could have their "fair shot" to advance the
bill, and so no one could accuse him of try
ing to hurt the bill's chances.
He told the senators he would introduce
the amendment if the bill failed to ad
vance. But since the bill advanced by a 25
12 vote, DeCamp said he isn't sure what he
is going, to do with his marijuana
amendment.
National Organization for the Reform
of Marijuana Laws State Director Don
Fiedler said he had hoped the Laetrile mea
sure would fail to advance so its supporters
might be forced to turn to therapeutic mari
juana supporters for compromise votes.
Fiedler said he still is hopeful that the
amendment will be discussed on the floor.
"We've worked too .hard not to. have
any floor debate," he said.
But, if the amendment is not discussed
or is voted down, Fiedler said, his group
will push for an interim study of the thera
peutic effects of marijuana, with an eye on
introduction of a separate therapeutic
marijuana bill next year.
Present for the. debate Friday was
Robert Randall of Washington D.C., who is
supplied marijuana by the federal govern
ment for his glaucoma condition. Also
present for the -debate were about 75
people, wearing "Laetrile for Life" badges.
The bill was heavily amended during
debate, and survived a kill attempt by
Hemingford Sen. Sam Cullan, 10-28 .
