The bill approved today expands medical marijuana even further than the conditions of a bill that passed the House of Delegates last week.

Now, we'll probably end up like Canada where the price tripled
Good for Eastern Shore Republican Steve Hershey!!
11:22, Have you seen the reports of children who have seizures and CBD marijuana is the only effective remedy. You believe that we should make children suffer or send them and their parents to jail because the pharmaceutical industry can't profit off it. Wow
Fantastic TV show on The Doctors this morning. It changed my viewpoint on medical maryjane. The topic was how a life was better by using the oil from the plant, a breed strain with a reduced THC content, changed a child's condition.
She had a rare genetic seizure disorder where she had full body seizures daily. It reduced her condition and its activity to where the seizure were every 8 wks.
Big change. It did not stop it all together. She was in a wheelchair before. After she did not have to be in wheel chair and has a better quality of life. Amazing. There was credible proof, the mother was on the show and it was very enlightening.
The Doctors had a enlightening show on TV this morning. A child with daily seizures life was profoundly changed by THE OIL not the dry weed of maryjane with the THC greatly cut by this genetically engineered strain.
Marijuana for Tots?
Charlotte, 6, was born with a rare form of epilepsy called Dravet syndrome. From the age of 2, Charlotte began to have violent seizures, some lasting up to four hours long. Eventually, she had up to 50 seizures a day, and sometimes 300 a week. By age 3, Charlotte couldn’t walk, talk or eat, and she tried every pharmaceutical medication available to help control the seizures, but nothing worked.
Her mother, Paige, confesses, "I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I was asking for her to just let go and die."
Dravet syndrome, also known as severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy (SMEI), is a catastrophic form of epilepsy that in 30 to 80 percent of cases, is caused by defects in a gene required for the proper function of brain cells. Individuals with Dravet syndrome face a higher rate of sudden, unexplained death in epilepsy (SUDEP).
Just when she was ready to give up, Paige says she found a miracle for her daughter, with a drug most associated with getting high. Learn how medical marijuana has helped Paige treat Charlotte's seizures.
