(17,656 posts). . . that are so violent that they literally throw her to the floor, and cause her to black out, has asked the state's legislature to legalize cannabis oil as a medicine to help alleviate her daughter's seizures.
Her daughter has a rare disease that does not respond to any other known drug or treatment.
Yet, the only thing the Republicans in the legislature seem to be concerned with regarding legalizing cannabis oil is that maybe people who don't have those seizures may get their hands on some of that cannabis oil!!
This woman has been interviewed on tv several times over the last 3 years.
And she has described in detail the living hell her young daughter is going through.
Yet, in both of the previous years a bill to legalize medical cannabis oil for people like her daughter never even made it out of the Republican-controlled committee!!
This year they said they want to study it some more before they draft a bill for that committee.
Even though there are several studies that have been conducted that already show that cannabis oil is effective at relieving the kind of seizures her daughter has as a consequence of the very disease she suffers from.
I don't know how those Republican legislators can sleep at night.
