PA. NEEDS A TRULY BENEFICIAL MEDICAL MARIJUANA LAW

As our politicians reconvene in Harrisburg on Monday, there will be a 
group of patriots from all over the state to greet them with their 
support of medical marijuana. I urge all Pennsylvanians to do their 
own research on this. They will find that it is a safe alternative to 
many of the pharmaceuticals that are prescribed every day with far 
less harmful side effects.

There are a lot of politicians supporting a CBD-only bill. CBD 
(cannabidiol) is non-psychoactive. But for a lot of people, for the 
medicine to work properly, some THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is 
psychoactive, must be used.

If we really cared about children with epilepsy and other ailments 
and our veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder, this medicine 
would be available for them today.

I urge you to support SB 1182.
