This legislative session, lawmakers failed to consider legislation, HB 6199, to make post-traumatic stress patients eligible for medical cannabis treatment and to protect patient’s 2nd Amendment rights.
The bill sought to amend the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act so that the definition of a ‘debilitating medical condition’ includes post traumatic stress. It also would have permit state-registered medical cannabis patients to retain gun ownership rights.
NORML would like to thank those of you who contacted your state lawmakers in support of this common sense legislation.
