Over the last decade several states have passed legislation allowing the medical use of marijuana to treat a variety of illnesses and diseases. A number of organizations in this state are urging Georgia legislators to follow suit.

One of these is the Georgia CARE Project — which stands for the Campaign for Access, Reform and Education.

In a recent conversation Georgia CARE's director, James Bell, spoke with WABE's Steve Goss.
