The bills Senate sponsor, State Senator Becky Massey (R-Knoxville) said, according to The Tennessean, Today we have the power to make a real change. These people are suffering, this medication works and is safe. The proposal is headed to Governor Haslams desk, where, if he chooses to sign it, it would become law.

These band-aid bills are so stupid, Cannabis doesn't care if your particular disorder is severe or mild, it acts as medicine regardless.

(2,065 posts)for many centuries, even millennia, before the United States was even a gleam in a colonist's eye. Queen Victoria used "Extractum Cannabinis", or an alcoholic extract of Cannabis, for her terrible menstrual cramps. Cannabis is a powerful antispasmodic, or herb to relieve cramps and spasms. It is also an appetite stimulant for anorexics and those undergoing chemotherapy, etc... It is also a vasodilator, which dilates peripheral blood vessels, and so may be useful in some cases of impaired circulation and high blood pressure. I also saw a video about juicing fresh pot plants in a blender and drinking the juice as a promising treatment for cancer.
