Senate backs medical marijuana 'compassion centers'

PROVIDENCE -- The state Senate today approved a bill that essentially allows the creation of "compassion centers" that distribute marijuana to patients enrolled in Rhode Island's medical marijuana program

However, it does not have broad support in the House and is expected to die there, acknowledged Sen. Rhode Perry, D-Providence, the bill's sponsor.
