Only patients who have debilitating conditions may be given prescriptions for medical marijuana, according to the law that was signed this past May.
Some of the conditions that qualify as debilitating include cancer, glaucoma, AIDS or HIV, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, wasting syndrome, Crohn’s disease, post-traumatic stress disorder as well as other medical conditions, treatments and diseases.
“With careful regulation and safeguards, this law will allow a doctor and a patient to decide what is in that patient’s best interest,” Gov. Dannel Malloy said when the bill passed.
The law allows no more than 10 certified growers across the state at any one time.
Once those growers are operating, only certified pharmacists at licensed distributors will be able to stock and sell marijuana and only from those providers. According to the governor’s office, it will take some time before any of those providers become operational.

The War of Drug started thousand years ago and up until it is not yet settled. Medical use of marijuana is legal in some countries including the 18 state of America which includes Connecticut. Contrary to public opinion, Washington states and Colorado did not legalize cannabis. As the substance is still regulated, voters in those states really passed weed decriminalization laws. Semantics aside, those states are ready to enjoy financial benefits of doing this, not least of which being million in tax revenue. Read more here
The thigh high boots seem perfect with the undernourished pants and leggings. Also, go intended for the least make and trimmings so that the group is tinted. Knee boots are a new accepted type that is really realistic as well. http://www.garageshoes.co.uk/
I feel thats the wrong way to go, I worked in a drug facility and most drug atticks started by smoking marajuara and going to other more potent drugs whats the matter with the americans its just a money making business is greed so important that it had to be legally passed to ruine peoples lives and futures
I worked in an out patient drug and alcohol rehab as well. In fact, most drug addicts started out by using alcohol, and we all know how well prohibition worked out, don't we. .... Alcohol kills more people every year in related automobile accidents than one can imagine. Then take into consideration the damaging role it plays with those who suffer from the disease of alcoholism. So why isn't alcohol illegal? .. because it does not work. It only creates a tremendous source of funds for criminals and wall street banks that launder the money for them.
Now consider what has taken place in Portugal as a result of their legalizing all recreational drugs and instead spending the money they used to spend on enforcement, now on rehabilitation. Check out the news report below;

Whats your excuse?
Maybe this will help to move the country towards the eventual elimination of the criminalization of the possession and use of this 'natural' drug. It is criminal that the use of something so harmless, (way less harmful than alcohol), has been resulting in so many non criminals being sent to prison. ... Not to mention the tremendous waste of money towards enforcement and incarceration.
It's been shown through research that many individuals with terminal illnesses do not have their pain well controlled at the end of life. This hopefully will be another option open to them that may help.
With doctors being just as crocked as the next person, this should be interesting. I'm sure things will get out of hand. lol.
New ObamaPhone users...
Simply dial 420 on your free ObamaPhone and you'll be connected to a Doctor who will prescribe over the phone. Or stop by any SEIU booth like those used by the Wisconsin Teachers Union to get your fake Dr notes.
It's easy! Medicaid pays, so it's also FREE!
I like the way you think!!
If Obamacare gave me free weed, I would actually vote for him...
