On This Day 4 Years Ago: Katie & Cayman's Law Passed The House

2/28/2019

Comments

 
   It is somewhat unthinkable, but 3 1/2 years ago it was a felony 5 year prison sentence if a mother was caught with a simple bottle of pure CBD oil.  But Rep Jon Echols sought to change that, for some Oklahoma children who were suffering debilitating seizures and other terrible disabilities. Even though the oil had no psychoactive content (THC) there were plenty of those who needed a lot of 'encouragement to vote for it. In the end, there were still a handful of legislators who refused to allow any product of the cannabis plant to be legal.
 On February 28th the members supporting the bill totaled 85. 5 voted against it, including a licensed physician; and 9 did not register a vote.
 Today, CBD oil is sold in all 50 states without any prescription, patient license, or dosage limits.
  It is found to be therapeutic in far more treatment protocols than even the house author of HB2154 even knew of.
  It would take until November 1st of 2015 before mom's could legally possess the essential oil,  It seems asinine today. Considering how far we've come.
 Today Rep. Echols' HB2612 passed the House with 93 votes of support. That bill authorizes permanent framework for patients to utilize all parts of the cannabis plant. But the restrictions are immense and the cost is expensive, because of the regulations.
  How many will look back 4 years from now and wonder what all the fuss was about.

 At the time, the CBD law was considered "A medical trail" program with very few candidates qualifying.  The bill was 24 pages long and had several strict rules.
​
  Only a few diagnosed conditions were eligible and even then the physicians were required to try other methods first.

  But by making the oil even slightly available, citizens eventually found the beneficial uses and pushed for federal reforms to make even more people able to benefit.

  Many believe that the same scenario is playing out for Medical Marijuana. 

  Perhaps in just a few years we will all chuckle at the nonsense rules that the legislature tried to force on something as harmless as Cannabis.

    ​"No politician 'checks off every box" in your list of issues. You have to prioritize and use personal discretion regarding every current and future issue that you can imagine. Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic.  I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
