Connecticut is #17! (But Their Restrictions are Unfortunate)

Connecticut became the 17th state in the U.S. to legalize medical marijuana today. “For years, we’ve heard from so many patients with chronic diseases who undergo treatments like chemotherapy or radiation and are denied the palliative benefits that medical marijuana would provide,” Governor Dannel Malloy said after signing the law. “With careful regulation and safeguards, this law will allow a doctor and a patient to decide what is in that patient’s best interest.”

Last month, the Connecticut Senate voted 21 to 13 to reclassify marijuana from a Schedule 1 drug to a Schedule 2 drug. Unfortunately the full benefits of this flower can only be obtained by patients with have to have a debilitating condition such as cancer, glaucoma, HIV, AIDS, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis or epilepsy.  Head to California or Colorado if you have backaches, anxiousness or insomnia.
