Marijuana dispensary, Marijuana taken to Federal Level as Bill Awaits Decision in House

marijuana dispensary

Marijuana has been the centre of attention recently. And, the federal government has gotten more involved. The positive thing about this effort is that it is bipartisan. It means that both sides are pushing for the law to be passed. This will improve the odds of the bill being passed. This may also affect how long it takes.

The bill is also very likely to be passed because of public opinion. Currently, polls say that 86 per cent of Americans are pro medical marijuana. This is a big advantage for the bill. This will open the doors for the marijuana dispensary businesses and other suppliers in the industry.

The Reason for Support for Medical Marijuana

Medical marijuana benefits are quite a few. Aside from its recreational use, marijuana cannabis has a number of medical advantages. It is used for insomnia, pain relief, asthma, anxiety and many others. There is marijuana cancer treatment, marijuana multiple sclerosis, marijuana AIDs and marijuana HIV treatments. The marijuana dispensary and medical marijuana dispensary industry will increase when legalization is set at a federal level.  They will make it more convenient and accessible for persons who need medical marijuana to treat their illnesses or disease.

Marijuana move from Schedule I to II

Marijuana is currently under the Schedule I category under federal government. Under this category drugs are not recognized for having any medical benefit. However, clearly, this is not the case with cannabis drugs. It has a variety of medical benefits. And, as more research is conducted the current list of benefits may well increase. Being under Schedule II will mean that the medical qualities of marijuana will be officially recognized. Representative Steve Cohen, D-Tennessee and Don Young, R-Alaska, introduced the bill recently that proposes reclassifying marijuana to Schedule II.

The New Bill will Free up Medical Marijuana

Currently, medical marijuana is legal in 23 states. Moving marijuana to Schedule II at the federal level would then allow each state to set the law with regards to medical marijuana. The new bill will also allow a marijuana dispensary, for medical treatment, to use the traditional banking system. This bill will also allow doctors at the Department of Veterans Affairs to recommend medical marijuana to veterans. Cohen spoke fervently about this issue, he said, ” VA Doctors should not be muzzled,” he said. “The idea that veterans who go to war and see life squashed out can’t talk to doctors about marijuana is absurd. It’s crazy.”

The marijuana industry will turn around, but it may take some time. The marijuana dispensary and medical marijuana dispensary business will be opened up for persons to acquire marijuana for medical treatment. And political affiliates will come together to get marijuana mainstreamed.
