Just got this tweet. . .

. . .from UNOTV.com:
aprueba senado uso de marijuana medicinal Senate approves use of medical marijuana

Woo Hoo

I feel sick, so gimmie some.

This is very good news.

I'll say!!! For all of Mexico, kids with seizures, people with cancer, people with chronic pain, nausea, so many things. YAAAY!

     

MJ has been legal to have up to a few joints for years, so how does this report effect that?

There are a few hoops remaining to be jumped through in this process...

It's not really legal in small quantities, just "decrimnalized." You can still be sent to rehab. I don't think this proposed law on medicinal use has any effect on that.

I am so happy for all those with a medical need. It has been a bitch sneaking around under the radar.

For those that know me...and you can read my thread as Ferret on the Narcolepsy Network Forum called "Cannabis Oil Round 3"...just a half a grain of rice worth of cannabis oil under my tongue before bed every night for the last couple of years has all but eliminated the cataplexy that I have lived with for thirty years.

Does this help people? YES! But I also hope that it's done carefully and scientifically and with quality control and with the knowledge of exactly what people need. The anecdotal evidence is there.

Yep, everything Ferret said! We have a couple of other posters here who have cured their spouses of lung cancer and leukemia. I cured a precancerous skin lesion on my arm.

This is wonderful news. Hope it's true lol. Thanks for the link, Alex, let's hope it goes all the way, I think it will.

And from Reuters this morning...
