I have a granddaughter with epilepsy. Drs have not found a medication to control her seizures. Medications for seizures have so many side effects it is hard for her to function properly. The seizures interferes with her school and other activities. Even, an implant to stimulate the nerve is not effective. Why not treat charlottes web the way other plant medications are treated. Let’s hurry up and get this all figured out and get it available for our children.

@Bob C, Well said, I too think that is a good idea.

@john The drugs the FDA has approved to treat these kids do NOT work, that is the problem and the reason the legislature is allowing the cannabinoids in marijuana to be used to treat these kids, because it does work.

I like the idea of pot trucks.

They can convert old ice cream trucks and drive around playing Bob Marley songs from the loudspeakers.

@john – You sound like you are for the children. If that is the case, you would know that the medications already available are not good for the children. In fact, I would go as far as to say almost all of medications prescribed today are harmful in some way or another. So why not let medicine that was put here by God be used?

GENESIS 1:29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.”

Marijuana is a seed bearing plant. The only thing stopping us from enjoying Gods gift is the laws of the land in which God says to obey the laws of the land so until that plant is legal only then can we enjoy it and use it for what it was put on earth for. God did not put Lortab and codeine etc. on earth for us.

Just my opinion.

Just like all drug companies ,the money is in the treatment, not the cure. Imagine the lost profits and lost jobs if the cures ever got out.

A rolling store sounds like a brilliant idea to me. I remember when I was a boy, for a quarter you could get a big RC cola, a huge Zero candy bar and a pack of 20 firecrackers.

Yes the opportunist are lining up at the trough, and this lottery business sounds like a bunch of skullduggery.

@Growers, If you don’t like the way the legislature is running things, well then just go rouge and say the heck with the legislature. It works for the commander and chief.

Good Grief……
Why all the Legislative hissie flap over how to dispense the medical marijuana.?

Drug stores / pharmacies in every town dispense highly controlled medications every day per the doctor’s orders for their patients.
Why not do the same thing to dispense the medical marijuana.?
This is not Rocket Pot folks….this is to ease the pain and suffering of our citizens.

Obviously, because it is considered illegal Federal Postal Laws would forbid the distribution of medical pot to the patient’s mailbox.

One could say that there is a near steady stream of “Pot Trucks” on the highways every hour of every day….they are just not regulated by anyone except “Dealers”. Thanks to the LEO a few are stopped each day.

Just like a bunch of buzzards waiting in line to cash in, under the guise of sick children, I wonder how many politicians and lawyers pushing this thing have ever visited a children’s home. This is not about children with epilepsy, its about money and pot, if it were truely about children the focus would be more on a cure, and also there are already medications available for these children.
