 Today, I am continuing to urge the legislature to pass medical marijuana legislation. As I have said for years, I support the legalization of medical marijuana and I believe it's long past time to provide this important medical relief to patients and families across the Commonwealth. I have met with patients and families, held roundtables, and urged action on this legislation since taking office. Additionally, my administration pushed forward with the program to expand research into the use of CBD for the treatment of children with intractable seizures. It is time to legalize medical marijuana because we should not deny doctor-recommended treatment that could help people suffering from seizures and cancer patients affected by chemotherapy. I urge quick action by the legislature to legalize medical marijuana.
