Federal law pre-empts state law. Although Minnesota does not have the death penalty under its laws, the sentence does exist in Minnesota under certain federal laws. Until a sentence of life in prison always actually means life in prison without possibility of parole, we can not eliminate the death penalty.
Medical Use of Marijuana
Making marijuana legal for medical use would ease many individuals' intractable pain. Studies and individuals have indicated that medical use of marijuana can significantly aid sufferers of glaucoma, chronic pain and the pain associated with terminal cancer. Because the use of marijuana can relieve symptoms with minimal side effects to the user, at a reasonable cost, and can be administered under the care and advice of a physician, we should not withhold this treatment option from so many people who could benefit from it.
