Dave,

I guess people that use CBD oil, takes that chance, I dont smoke it myself or do any drugs ( thank God and my parents) so I cant imagine people who need it what they have to go through to get it.

Its a shame that certain states laws are more stringent than other states.

.

I saw on the news this morning that the fda has approved a med for seizures. That's great. My son's seizures were so bad his arms would pop out of place. We are lucky because his stopped. He was taking dilantin. It has side effects.

The FDA approved a product containing CBD oil for epilepsy. This is a first because Federal law placed marijuana and all it's derivatives under the same schedule as heroin (which seems excessive). If this new medication works (and one would assume it has to to get FDA approval) regular CBD oil may be effective to some degree. BTW, CBD oil is now legal in all 50 states.

Any one that is in need of medications for certain health conditions, should be able to get it Legally. Should be legal in All states, marijuana and anything that actually Helps a persons suffering physically. Imo. Meaning
All Legal citizens of the US.

Undocumented immigrants should have too work and repay any medical assistance, when they get well enough and able.

The problem is because of the massive coverage on illegal drug use doctors are now afraid to prescribe pain meds for bonified patients that have documented proof of their condition. In Indiana anytime a doctor writes a prescription for a narcotic pain med they have to register it with the state, asap. CVS and Walgreens (at least locally) now have a policy that their pharmacists can refuse to fill a pain med scripts even if the person has been a long term customer.

The war on drugs has become a war on the valid patient who has become a casualty. In my area the news focuses on this problem almost every night and only one station had a two minute story about the innocent patients. It's, also, interesting that according to the FDA prescription pain med abuse has tappered off in the last four years and has been replaced with heroin and heroin/fantanyl useage. Yet in the news they constantly focus on prescription pain meds.

FWIW, the ACLU has started litigation because of the case as I've described above. They are claiming the war on drugs is a failure and needs to be replaced with some other approach which I totally agree. No, not selling norco in the candy aile next to M&M's but finding out why our people want/need to escape reality and help them. If the users stop buying the drug cartels will go out of business.

That is interesting and sad Indianadave4 !
I' ve been to Indiana and know individuals in that state.

llinois is terrible in drugs, especially Chicago many illegals.
