Connecticut to become the 17th medical marijuana state!
"After years of effort, Connecticut is on the verge of becoming the newest medical marijuana state. On April 25, the Connecticut House of Representatives voted 96-51 to approve An Act Concerning the Palliative Use of Marijuana, HB 5389. The Senate followed suit in a 21-13 vote on May 6. Gov. Dannel Malloy said he'll sign the bill, which is headed to his desk."
"HB 5389 will allow state-registered patients or their caregivers to obtain marijuana from dispensaries, which in turn would obtain marijuana from licensed producers. Only pharmacists could apply on behalf of dispensaries. HB 5389’s qualifying medical conditions are cancer, glaucoma, HIV, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries causing spasticity, epilepsy, wasting, Crohn’s disease, and PTSD. The Department of Consumer Protection could add additional medical conditions."
"Patients — who must be 18 or older — would be able to obtain a one-month supply, and the amount would be determined by the department. Most of the bill will go into effect on October 1, including a provision to allow patients to obtain a temporary registration to possess marijuana while the department implements the remainder of the act."
"This victory comes despite saber-rattling from Connecticut’s U.S. attorney, who sent a letter on April 23 saying that dispensaries and growers are illegal under federal law and saying the Department of Justice could prosecute or enjoin them. Connecticut is the latest of several states to move forward with well-regulated dispensing programs despite receiving similar intimidating letters."
It looks like we are on our way up my loves!!!
