“We remain skeptical of the use of medical marijuana, but we continue to monitor the issue,” said health department spokesman Bill Van Slyke.

What the hell is it with these guys? How many reports need be read, or studies conducted before they realize that marijuana is for more than the slacker-set? Get with it already. It kind of reminds me of the tobacco executives, and doctors on their payroll, who fought for years that cigarettes were not unhealthy.

Mike Long, chairman of the Conservative Party of New York State, said many medical marijuana advocates are “looking to liberalize the use of marijuana.” Fantastic!
