Georgia lawmakers vote to add PTSD to medical marijuana conditions
By Mark Niesse
Georgia’s medical marijuana law would be expanded to cover post-traumatic stress disorder and intractable pain, according to a bill approved by the state Legislature on Thursday.
The legislation passed after one of its sponsors railed against opposition from Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, a Republican candidate for governor, earlier in the day.
Rep. David Clark said in a speech that Cagle was “corrupt” and “playing games” by standing in the way of medical marijuana efforts that could save the lives of soldiers suffering after serving their country.
