Despite various approvals over Marijuana Legalization in different states and districts, nothing much has been done towards implementation of the laws. As a result, many people died and especially those who are not able to take advantage of the safe and legal access to medical cannabis.

To remember victims of such kind of deaths, Medical Marijuana advocates gathered on the State House steps for a vigil. According to the executive director of Massachusetts Patient Advocacy Alliance, Nichole Snow, a lot of patients have continued to struggle while waiting for the implementation of the medical marijuana program.

Snow further argued that three years since voters passed the Humanitarian Care Act of 2012 nothing has been done, and people have continued to lose their lives. Besides, only one dispensary is in operation in the state despite 63% approval by Bay State voters that gave patients with certain ailments the option of using medical marijuana. Nevertheless, another one seems to be on track and will probably be in operation early next year.

Ken Roberts is one of the victims suffering from trigeminal neuralgia and whose pain could be moderated by a few strains of marijuana. However, getting a hold of marijuana was a terrible task probably because of the restrictions associated with the law. Sadly, Roberts died at the age of 35 from heart attack associated with his condition.

In the meantime, as a result of the confusion that has been created by Marijuana laws, many people have now turned to using it while infused in coffee or tea. It is very frequent in the Forest Hills neighborhood in Northwest Washington where sale and purchase of marijuana remain illegal.

Apparently, House of Jane, a California-founded company sells cannabis-infused beverages. The company’s co-founder, Jill Amen, says that Jane’s Brew is only trying to ease the stigma for cannabis. As such it can be done in a professional way without causing any mayhem.
