TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Supporters of legalizing medical marijuana in Kansas are planning a silent protest at the Capitol next month.

A group called Bleeding Kansas is planning the “Day of the Kansas Dead” rally in Topeka on Nov. 7.

Lisa Sublett, founder of the organization, said the protest will memorialize those who have died without the right to use marijuana to heal or ease their pain. Sublett contends a majority of Kansas residents support medical use of marijuana but the proposal has not advanced in the Kansas Legislature

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports (http://bit.ly/1O1edrx ) Sublett hopes to eventually organize an educational forum for legislators to hear from scientists on the subject.
