Barry Banks, a graduate student in curriculum and instruction, smokes medical marijuana from a glass pipe Saturday, Nov. 21, 2015, at his home. Banks receives the prescription for diabetic neuropathy and is currently participating in a statewide pilot program. Before he received medical marijuana, Banks was prescribed opiates that he believes has harsher side effects. "I don't mind being part of the experiment," Banks said. "I have a much better quality of life." (Daily Egyptian | Aidan Osborne)
