In this Sunday story Meredith Cohn and I explained how a backlash against medical marijuana elsewhere could influence an expected proposal to legalize the drug for medical purposes here in Maryland.

Those behind the effort say they hope to craft a bill that imposes several restrictions on the drug's use, such as specifying that people have a long standing relationship with their doctor's before they get permission to use the drug. That means no showing up at a dispensary asking to see the doc on call for some pot.

The Maryland effort may also prevent people from growing their own drugs. Supporters say the proposal could be among most stringent in the nation.

Our recent poll here at Picture of Health showed overwhelming support for medical marijuana. If you're for it, how do you think such a law should work in Maryland? What restrictions would you impose? What caveats would you implement? Or would you follow the models of other states like California? And of course, feel free to sound off if you think it's one giant bad idea. Let's hear it.
