A bill to give medical-marijuana patients better access to the drug stalled in a House committee Friday and is likely dead, deadlocking on a party-line vote.
All eight Republicans on the House Human Services Committee voted against Senate Bill 326 and all eight Democrats voted for it.
SB326, sponsored by Sen. Ron Erickson, D-Missoula, would increase the amount of marijuana that a state-licensed patient or “caregiver” can possess, from one to three ounces. It also increased the number of plants a licensed grower can have and listed additional diseases that can be legally treated with marijuana.

These laws aren't about patients. They're about recreational users who burn a few on the weekends.
