New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, right, gets some help from Amanda Houser, 10, while signing a ceremonial bill to establish a medical marijuana program in New York, Monday, July 7, 2014. New York has become the 23rd state in the U.S. to authorize medical marijuana, though the state's program is one of the nation's most restrictive. Cuomo signed the measure into law on Saturday and held the formal signing ceremony on Monday to highlight the new law. When the program gets up and running in about 18 months, patients with diseases including AIDS, cancer and epilepsy will be able to obtain non-smokeable versions of the drug. Instead, the drug must be ingested or administered through a vaporizer or oil base. Houser, who has Dravet syndrome, may benefit from medical marijuana.(AP Photo/Seth Wenig)
