Georgia OKs Cannabis Oil

(Fall 2015) Georgia Governor Nathan Deal recently signed a bill permitting medical marijuana patients to possess as much as 20 ounces of cannabis oil, although it is still illegal to produce within the state. This brings up a quandary since it remains to be seen if the federal government will allow the oil to be purchased from another state. If this issue is resolved, close to 500,000 individuals could be helped by the new law as it lists eight ailments for which the oil could be prescribed.
