US MT: Horse Sense: Medical-Marijuana Bills Face Tough Time At

The Billings Gazette, 16 Feb 2013 – HELENA — So far, the 2013 Legislature appears to be no more receptive to medical marijuana than the 2011 session was. The House Human Services Committee on Friday tabled — and almost certainly killed — four medical-marijuana bills by Rep. Kelly McCarthy, D-Billings. The bills all died on 12-4 votes, with 10 Republicans and two Democrats opposing the bills, while four Democrats backed them.
