I do not. Thing is, even though the state is supposedly veto-proof, the bill was authored by a conservative Republican and has bipartisan support, so if it passes, the governor might be vetoing his own party. I don't know how often that happens either.

Default So this a vaporizer
I came across this product while reading an article about the cottage industry developing around marijuana use. This company has a device that vaporizes herbs and also diffuse essential oils. So if you're interested to see an alternative to smoking, take a look at the short video.

Hi Marlene, I think if I were to give it a try I would use a vaporizer. I don't believe I would smoke it. Thanks for the info.

Hi Joe,
Do they sell it in edibles in the medical marijuana clinics?

In Washington, once you are a qualified patient with a valid written recommendation from your healthcare provider, you're good to go...

Heck, some sellers will even bring a nice assortment to your home for you to choose from. Most of these merchants are very knowledgeable and professional.

Politics Iowa bill would allow form of marijuana for epilepsy treatment (Yahoo)
From Health News Headlines yesterday...

Iowa would join five other states with similar measures including Wisconsin and Mississippi if the Republican governor signs the bill into law, the Washington-based pro-marijuana group NORML said. The bill is "largely symbolic" because it provides no legal, in-state source for Iowa residents to obtain the substance known as cannabidiol, NORML deputy director Paul Armentano said.

(From Yahoo Diseases)
Unfortunately, this is a case of bad faith law and political pandering at its worst, and may likely do more harm than good to the very people it is ostensibly intended to help.

Quote:
Armentano said residents of Iowa would have to obtain the oil from a state where marijuana is legal, and break federal law to carry it across state lines.

"The law unfortunately will fail to provide either adequate access or adequate relief to the very patient population it is intended to serve," Armentano said.
Ibid.
Legislators & governors know this. There is no compassion or reason here. An argument might even be made that it's tantamount to entrapment. There are currently 21 states (and counting) where MMJ is a reality—not just smoke and mirrors—more than enough to model a real and effective law from.

What the cuss kind of legacy does this governor want to leave‽

I will keep posting but wanted to report that I am very happy with the results so far.
That is great to hear that it is helping. I hate having to take opioids to control PN, they don't really help the pain and have ruined my memory. I find it so frustrating that doctors are happy to hand out painkillers but don't consider cannabis a legitimate pain management option (at least where I am).

Default Health insurers just say no to marijuana coverage (Yahoo)
Copied from Health News Headlines forum

Patients who use medical marijuana for pain and other chronic symptoms can take an unwanted hit: Insurers don't cover the treatment, which costs as much as $1,000 a month.

Read the full article...
