State legislators propose pharmacy marijuana sales
Five years after Michigan voters legalized marijuana use for medical purposes, lawmakers say it’s time the drug is brought into the fold of the health care industry so patients can buy it at their corner pharmacy.
A bill approved last week by a Senate committee would pave the way for the production and sale of “pharmaceutical-grade” cannabis. The measure essentially would create a second medical pot system in the state, one that proponents say would not interfere with the existing law under which patients can grow their own pot or obtain it from caregivers.

Mers: Kamele könnten gefährliches Virus übertragen haben
64 Menschen sind bereits an dem neuartigen Mers-Virus gestorben - Forscher fahnden nach dem Ursprung der Krankheit. Eine heiße Spur liefert ein Kamel in Saudi-Arabien.
Erstmals ist in Saudi-Arabien das gefährliche Coronavirus Mers bei einem Kamel diagnostiziert worden. Das Tier gehöre einem Mann, der zuvor ebenfalls positiv auf den Erreger getestet worden sei, teilte das Gesundheitsministerium des Landes am Montag mit. Derzeit werde untersucht, inwiefern sich die Viren des Manns und des Kamels glichen. Sollten sie identisch sein, könnten möglicherweise Rückschlüsse auf die Übertragungswege des Erregers geschlossen werden: Kamele könnten der Ursprung der Krankheit sein.
