Joe, I hear you 100%. My husband is a disabled vet too and we can't continue to stay in Illinois if they don't pass our bill. We are working really hard to get it passed and it may go before the House in November after the election. If not then, possibly January. Our sponsor is amazing, Lou Lang, and he is working as hard as we are to get this done.

The bill will be a tight one though and also has a sunset clause. If the program doesn't work within three years they can stop it. It's all so crazy. Doctors can prescribe Methadone, Oxy, Morphine, etc...but they can't prescribe cannabis?

Oh and by the way, did you hear the VA eased up their rules about cannabis and getting pain meds at the VA? In states where it's legal, they will no longer penalize vets who have a cannabis card from a civilian doctor! That's huge for a federal agency to get on board!

Anyway, good luck in your move. You fought for us and now it's time you are able to live pain free. Thanks for your service.
