One small step is better than none at all. Step by step, state by state, the US will hopefully make headway to total decriminalization and medicinal and recreational legalization.

CBD helps epilepsy but not childhood cancers., The whole plant has medicinal properties. The THC portion which is still outlawed kills cancer cells. Children with diseases other than epilepsy need the whole plant cannabinoids for health care. Educate the public and hope for more care for all ill children.

Scott has to be making money off of this for him to endorse.

I have a friend…now deceased…who died of cancer. His only relief from the pain was smoking marijuana…the pot was even better than his oxycodones…plus it gave him an appetite. When he had a hard time finding marijuana (due to archaic laws) he wouldn’t eat and would suffer greatly. Thank goodness steps are being taken to bring Florida into line with the many, many countries that have seen the benefits of this plant.

Robert, The bible does not say “suffer not the little children”. Matt 19:14, But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
The word suffer in this passage actually means, to allow, permit, or not to hinder.
The Disicples were trying to stop a group of children from approaching Christ, and he was telling them to leave the children alone so that they could come to him.

I think this is wonderful news for all the families that have children and adults that have seizures and illnesses this will allow them to have just a little bit more life for them and the family they have that care for them, If you haven’t cared for someone that has had seizures or other illness, please do your home work before spouting. It is a illness not a choice.

I am thankful that they are trying I am suffering with seizures I have at least 30 a month sometimes, I have 30+ a week at one point with the meds not working, I read into marijuana and tried it and stopped having so many, there is something to this, I was a drug addict and went to the methadome clinic years back and I ended up telling them that they made me become more addicted to that stuff than what I was addicted to. There is nothing wrong with marijuana I don’t think if you don’t go out and abuse it, teach kids what is right and wrong. I will be a person who will do clinic to try this stuff out.

I can see not having the euphoric effect for the children benefiting from this.

Heaven forbid us adults get an euphoric effect from it while being helped by it, thank you so much Government for looking out for me. Lets go drinking to celebrate!

The side effects also includes making boring movies better, making you hungry, and making you sleep well. In extreme cases constant laughter.

This is a Very Good thing for the kids and others who will finally and legally get relief that is much needed.

Not at all like a methadone clinic.
These children did not volunteer to put junk into their systems and are not addicts. They are ill due to no cause of their own and are in need of treatments that will improve their lives.

Suffer not the little children…..
