Blessed Are the Glaucoma Sufferers?

Does Augusta allow medical marijuana? Were we ahead of California on this one?
If you haven't applied for the Porter Fleming grant yet, here's an area of research that might be fruitful.
From the city code:
Sec. 3-7-33. Marijuana.
(a) It shall be unlawful for any person to
manufacture, compound, mix, cultivate, grow or
otherwise prepare or produce, sell, barter, smoke,
exchange, give away, dispense, distribute, leave
with, dispose of, deliver, administer, prescribe or
offer to do any of them, possess or have under his
control any marijuana, except for bona fide med-
ical or scientific purposes, or for the bona fide
purpose of applying marijuana for such medical
or scientific purposes.
(2)
Medical purposes include only such uses
as may be prescribed or authorized in the
course of his professional practice by a
person authorized by law to practice med-
icine, dentistry or veterinary medicine, or
by any other person authorized by law to
treat sick or injured human beings or
animals.
(4)
Scientific purposes include any use for
research, instruction or analysis.
