Bills Would Increase Diversity in Medical Marijuana Business

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — After Carey Tilghman’s 6-year-old daughter, Paisley, suffered from a stroke, doctors drafted a plan to use a round of Botox injections and muscle relaxers to treat her condition.
 

Searching for an alternative for her daughter, Tilghman found that a transdermal patch filled with cannabis, which has been linked to shielding the brain from stroke damage, could possibly be helpful to her daughter, but she hasn’t been able access the drug in Maryland’s stalled medical cannabis industry.

Maryland has had one of the slowest rollouts of medical marijuana in the country.

The Natalie M. LaPrade Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission, which grants the licenses to growers, processors and dispensers, has been hampered by legal battles and pending legislation in the Maryland General Assembly since the state legalized medical cannabis in 2014

And Delaware legislation to availability in a year (or less). Ain't Maryland and their politicians grand? But they got that rescission to the request for a constitutional amendment passed and enacted to keep President Trump from having the potential to use it for his, and the American people that elected him, agenda. And no delay when they want to gerrymander the state into a more perverted election map that favors the Democrats. But medical marijuana to help the state's sickest citizens, and they delay that for years. Why move to far leftist California, when you can have their politics right here on the East coast, in Maryland? Our political leaders will keep you sick, literally. Even Hogan is a RINO.

Wish the Feds would make pot recreationally legal. It would stop the drug trade in this country. Think of the extra money that could be made on pot. It would help the heroin and opiod epidemic. Plus weed doesn't give you a hangover like alcohol does
