While Kansas lawmakers are debating prohibiting an herbal incense, which if smoked has marijuana-like qualities, they're also considering legalizing pot.

State Representative Gail Finney, a Wichita Democrat, wants to set up state-regulated "compassionate care centers" so people with prescriptions could buy marijuana. Not ready to score on this one is Olathe Republican Scott Schwab, who doesn't believe the idea has anything to do with pain and is simply a way to legalize the infamous weed.

Supporters of medical marijuana say that it helps ease pain from some chronic diseases.
