HIV-AIDS SUFFERER JUSTIN BRASH LIGHTS UP HIS CANNABIS PIPE IN SYDNEY, 2003-05-29 (photo)

Justin Brash, who suffers from HIV-AIDS, lights up his pipe containing cannabis during one of his daily intakes of the drug in Sydney May 29, 2003. Brash is one patient who will benefit from the changes to the state laws allowing ill people to use marijuana as a medicine, following trials of the drug as a pain reliever in several U.S. states, Canada and Europe. Under the scheme, expected to be introduced to Australia's most populous state New South Wales by year's end, those suffering from cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis and other serious illnesses can register to use marijuana for pain relief.
