CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Linda Horan, diagnosed in July with late-stage lung cancer, says she may be dead before New Hampshire opens its first medical marijuana dispensaries early next year.
She wants a judge to order the state to grant her a medical marijuana identification card now so she can buy marijuana legally in Maine. But a judge on Thursday postponed a ruling on her request.
STATE HOUSE — In the latest attempt to showcase support for his approach to the opioid crisis, Gov. Charlie Baker on Thursday met with medical students who backed up his effort to codify the teaching of pain management and safe prescribing practices in medical school curriculums.
Baker, who plans to testify for his opioid bill Monday with Boston Mayor Martin Walsh, last week announced he had reached agreement with the state's four medical schools to standardize the teaching of pain management as part of the core curriculum for future doctors. Baker said that in the conversations that led to the agreement he learned that most schools offered instruction on pain management, but the amount of time and focus varied by school and discipline.
