So what is exactly going on in BR? I've heard rumblings of certain diseases getting clearance for prescriptions.

Granted this is only in oil/pill form I feel it can help a lot of people who have to rely on dangerous drugs.

I have Crohn's Disease but haven't got to a point of extreme severity yet. One day down the road it will be here though and I refuse to take the steroids and immunosuppresive drugs.

I also wonder if employers will be prohibited from terminating off-duty users who have a prescription.

I don’t think MJ is gonna do anything for Crohn’s other than maybe increase your appetite and maybe decrease some pain and nausea during severe flare ups.

It’s not gonna do much for an autoimmune disease.

Here in Texas, which is otherwise a glorious place, the “medical MJ” Law is a cruel joke and it’ll help almost nobody. I figure Louisiana would be similar. Regulated to the point of uselessness. Then politicians will say “See? We were nice enough to allow patients to use this evil plant, and no one got healed. So we were right, weed is useless and should stay illegal.”

The state's first dispensary is opening on Summa in Baton Rouge. LSU's grow house will be off Highland near I-10.

Prescriptions won’t matter. Employers will/can say MJ users are violating federal law. I have worked at various nuclear plants as a contractor. Been told quite a few times that a MJ script is not acceptable if you have THC in your system.

It's a decent firsr step, I suppose. I've heard of CBD oil doing really good things. Hopefully these are first steps to getting it rescheduled. The fact that it's still listed as schedule I is an abomination.

There’s a bill which passed the house but still working its way through the senate to allow for medical marijuana (non-smokeable) to be prescribed to treat PTSD and chronic pain, pitched as a way to combat the opioid crisis.
