The medical marijuana bill, the Compassionate Care Act (A.6357-A), passed the Assembly Health Committee today with a bipartisan vote of 20-4. "The Compassionate Care Act is needed," said Assembly Health Chair Richard N. Gottfried, sponsor of the bill, "even with Governor Cuomo's Executive action on medical marijuana."

In his State of the State message, Governor Cuomo endorsed the medical value of cannabis when he said: "New York has the opportunity to alleviate the pain and suffering of residents with cancer and other severe illnesses. Medical research shows that the use of marijuana may alleviate the symptoms associated with serious debilitating or life threatening illnesses...It is time for New York to take action."
