This is medication — nothing more and nothing less. The government isn’t planning to prohibit or restrict illegal cannabis, only medical marijuana.

Legislatively prohibiting people from taking their medication has no place in a 2016 legislative agenda. Medical rights need to be protected and fought for, especially in the face of discrimination such as this government is presenting.
