The Virginian lawmakers had unanimously passed the bill that will be allowing the families to legally purchase medical marijuana to treat epileptic seizures in this state this year. A big discussion and also negotiation actually paved the way for the passage of this bill that allows the processing as well as manufacturing of Cannabidiol oil and also the THC-A marijuana oils that are actually low on THC (the compound that provides the high in cannabis).

The Senator Dave Marsden stated that offering this medication to the people of Virginia is certainly the best thing to do. He added that the THC and the CBD oils have also shown that the ability of helping alleviate the numbers as well as the severity of the seizures from the intractable epilepsy and assist so many people lead a quality life.

The state had in the previous year legalized the possession of the two marijuana oils for the intractable epilepsy parties and also the caregivers, though it failed in offering any way for the patients to actually obtain the oils without cutting off the federal and state laws.

The legalization offers the solution by asking the Board of Pharmacy to create regulations to safely and also securely offer the oils. After the BoP (Board of Pharmacy) makes the regulations, they will then be brought back before legislature in the coming year for the final approval. The processing and the distribution of this oil will not start until a fixed date in 2017.

The Senator Marsden stated that this is a big step for Virginia, the 1st in the nation concept that will offer medications in the best and secure manner. This yet again proves that Virgina leads the way. Virginia is one of those forty states with the medical laws and as per the newest report on the medical access in the US by the group, Americans for safe access it is one of the 17 states that actually limits to use the CBD and THC oils for some conditions.

The activists as well as the legislators from across the nation will now be having discussion on these kinds of laws and also the other medical cannabis subjects at ASA’s fourth annual Medical Cannabis Conference. ASA’s Director of Communications stated that he is really happy and thankful to the Virginia General Assembly for taking this awesome step by helping all the epilepsy patients to have a safe and a very reliable treatment in this commonwealth without even deviating from the laws.
