Missouri: Legislature approves medical cannabis bill
After heated debates, the Missouri legislature has finally approved the medical cannabis bill, with one voice. The future law will allow seriously or terminally ill patients to use non-smokable forms of cannabis to treat their illnesses.
«The idea behind this bill is the result of my observation as a healthcare professional for several decades, and it just seems like the right thing to do,» explained Jim Neely, Republican, who proposed the bill. «My bill is aimed at people at the end of life.»
The law HB 1554 defines a terminal illness as one that «will result in death in the near future or a state of permanent unconsciousness from which recovery is unlikely.»
Some deputies, however, proposed adding other pathologies to the medical cannabis program. Shamed Dogan, a Republican, suggested adding epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma or Crohn's disease. Others put forward the idea of including post-traumatic stress disorder, particularly for veterans.
Before coming into force, the bill must be voted on again by Parliament, then by the Senate, and finally signed by the Governor of Missousri, Eric Greitens.
