Marijuana has been demonised for decades, but changes are afoot. A recent survey by Palliative Care Australia found that 67% of Australian’s were in favour of the legalisation of medical marijuana. These results came just days after it was announced the first ever Australian grown crop of medical marijuana was set to be planted in Norfolk Island with a view to exporting the eventual one tonne harvest to Canada.

TRENTON — As a New Jersey family wages a court battle to get permission for their daughter to consume edible medical marijuana in school, Colorado this week became the first state in the nation to legalize on-campus cannabis use.

Inspired by the plight of Jack Splitt, a Lakewood, Colo. teenager who relies on a ventilator and wheelchair, Colorado legislators approved a bill that allows students who are registered medical marijuana patients to use edible cannabis products in school, so long as they are administered by a parent or an approved caregiver. Gov. John Hickenlooper signed the bill into law Monday, calling it "a pretty good reflection of what the community wants."

Artists aren’t so quick to respond to social change. It’s not that they don’t care, of course, it’s just that art doesn’t work that way.

Conceiving and executing art — figuring out what to say and how to say it — take time. Add to that technical things, like printing, framing and paint-drying, and then logistics, like finding a spot on the schedule of a busy gallery.

This is the brave child battling epilepsy who has made amazing improvements after using MARIJUANA.

The family of little Addyson Benton travelled 1,200 miles to get help for the toddler who was suffering 1000 seizures each day.

Addyson, aged three, was diagnosed with Intractable Myoclonic Epilepsy aged nine months.

While doctors tried 10 types of medication, nothing was a success, and when her condition deteriorated, parents Heather and Adam made the brave decision to relocate to Colorado, USA, where marijuana is legal.

Recently, 15-year-old Coltyn Turner testified before the Colorado state legislature and rode a bike again for the first time in years. Previously so ill he was confined to a wheelchair caused by the debilitating effects of Crohn’s Disease, over the past year the Colorado Springs teen has used cannabis oil on his path to healing.

“I’d rather be illegally alive than legally dead,” he says.

ALISON STEWART: Adam Hayward is the sheriff of Deuel County, Nebraska, which is right by the state line with Colorado. Sheriff Hayward says his work hasn’t been the same since Colorado legalized recreational marijuana.

SHERIFF ADAM HAYWARD: Keep it over there. It’s still illegal here. We don’t have a choice. We have to enforce the law.

ALISON STEWART: The sheriff says he’s arrested all sorts of people carrying marijuana back from Colorado along Interstate 76: teenagers making weekend runs to Denver and once a 67 year old grandmother. With each arrest the sheriff collects more and more marijuana. It is cataloged and then stored in the Deuel County jail cell.

DENVER (ABC News) -- An Ohio family moved 1,200 miles to get a medical marijuana derivative for their 3-year-old to give her some relief from her seizures, and they say it's working.

Addyson Benton began having tiny seizures when she was just 9 months old, her mother, Heather Benton, told ABC News. Her eyes would glaze over and she would jerk as if she was catching herself falling asleep. Soon, the seizures got worse, doctors learned that Addyson was having more than 1,000 a day, and they diagnosed her with severe intractable myoclonic epilepsy, Benton said.

"It was just a nightmare," Benton said, adding that the seizure medications didn't work and made Addyson strangely aggressive or sleepy. "We could not find anything to control them and they were getting worse."

CBS This Morning on Thursday returned to a favorite topic of the network's journalists: Legalized pot. This time, reporter Barry Petersen hyped an all marijuana radio station. With no hint at any downside, co-host Norah O'Donnell introduced, "A Colorado radio station is fine-tuning its format to reach a higher audience in the land of legalized marijuana." 

Reporter Barry Petersen enthused, "With revenue and audience numbers climbing to the sky, at K-HIGH, it's good to be high." Explaining the station's lineup of hosts, he promoted, "And in the afternoon, there are the Weed Pimps." 

Get ready Coloradans! The Colorado General Assembly passed a bill on May 6 that would ask voters to exempt marijuana revenues from the state’s Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) and would lower the special sales tax rate on marijuana. The bill is meant to address the potential refund of an estimated $58 million in retail marijuana tax revenue under TABOR.

State officials would like to keep the excess money and use it for programs such as the Public School Capital Construction Assistance Fund, which receives funding from marijuana tax revenues, instead of refunding the money to taxpayers as required by TABOR. But to do this, Coloradans must give their approval.
