That's awesome!

stares from KY

It helps my spinal pain so much.

Sadly, my state would rather I drink bourbon and snort pills than use cannabis...but maybe one day!!

Not mentioned in the article, but in no way is medical access to marijuana available to everyone who would benefit from it in Georgia. Only very specific cancer treatment and maybe a few other things qualify AFAIK.

I'm from south eastern kentucky. I have stage 4 cancer. I guarantee I wouldn't have survived chemo without illegal cannabis. Even if they do legalize it here I'm still going to buy it illegally because it'll be a cold day in hell before the government makes a red cent in taxes off something they would've put me in jail for just a year ago. Yeehaw fuck the law.

I dunno how your legislature works but the only reason my state of Missouri got medical, and then a couple months ago recreational, is because they were both ballot initiatives.

The problem in your state appears to be your Senate who didn't even allow the last marijuana bill that passed the house to have a committee in the senate.

So if you wanna blame someone, blame Republican Robert Stivers.

Happy cake day!

Unfortunately not, at least for the forseeable future.
