cbd_oil_legalLegislation is moving forward in the Conservative States of Alabama, Georgia and Utah that allows the use of Cannabidiol Oil, a non-psychoactive compound found in marijuana, in the treatment of seizures.
Cannabidiol Oils or CBD’s are low in THC and have shown remarkable potential in the treatment of children who have not responded to other forms of therapy. We hope it is just a matter of time before Cannabidiol Oil will is legal across America.
Utah’s Governor Gary Herbert signed HB 105 or “Charlee’s Law” on March 20th allowing CBD Oil trials for the treatment of epilepsy.
Charlee’s Law is named after Charlee Nelson, a six year old girl diagnosed with Batten Disease who passed away last weekend. There are currently 50 children in Utah waiting for CBD: the miracle compound.
Governor Herbert was pleased with the bill saying ”My concern has been that the products are produced properly and that we have the adequate protections in place. Ultimately, I am satisfied the bill provides for that and I decided to sign it. ”
The bill has a sunset provision that will require lawmakers to re-evaluate it’s effectiveness in 2016. Stephanie Carr who is the mother of an 18 month old who suffers from seizures said “This will add quality years to her life. I’m just so blessed and so grateful that we’ve got it!”
Utah’s CBD Oil will have to be lab certified and contain at least 15% cannabidiol and less than 0.3% of tetrahydrocannabinol.
Alabama Legislation Goes to Governor Bentley
This week Alabama  passed a medical marijuana bill, known as Carly’s Law, that opens the door for CBD Oil trials and research at the University of Alabama Department of Neurology.  Governor Robert Bentley is expected to sign the bill, though the date has not been announced.
Who Will Be Next in the South?
Georgia
Rep. Allen Peake (R-Macon) introduced HB 885 after meeting Haleigh Cox, a four year old that suffers from up to 100 seizures per day. “I just know if Haleigh was my daughter or my grandchild, I would be moving heaven and earth to make sure this was available.” The  bill passed the the House and will now have to get  through the Senate.
Florida
Floridians will decide this November if they want Medical Marijuana in their state as well after reaching the needed 683,000 signatures. 2013 Quinnipiac University Poll shows 82% of Florida voters in favor of medical marijuana.
Tampa is also now home to Florida’s First Cannabis College.
