| Senate Bill 1120 barely passed in Senate Committee, today. If it gets the title restored at a later date, it will ask the entire legislature to approve major limitations on the use of Cannabis medications. Glaucoma patients, Severe Pain Management patients, Advance deteriorative arthritis sufferers, and a vast group of mental health patients will be denied access to promising new Cannabis medications. Of the many health conditions being effectively treated by Cannabis medicines, Serious mental health diagnoses are the most common. Veterans suffering PTSD are coming forward to celebrate their restored mental stability and the end of 'flashbacks', panic attacks, and other generalized anxiety symptoms. Navy Vet., Cody Barlow is just one young man who took part in a medical study of Cannabis treatment for his severe Panic Attacks and flashbacks. The Veterans Administration have been treating him with highly addictive Benzodiazepine class tranquilizers which have debilitated him to an almost catatonic state. His medical trial (in another state where law allowed) effectively restored his mental stability and capacity to return to productive work. Most other states now allow the utilization of Cannabis medicines. Oklahoma voters will vote on a state ballot question this June 26th. Senator Yen's bill will add another severe layer of prohibition to that medical practice. Senate Bill 1120 barely passed in Senate Committee, today. If it gets the title restored at a later date, it will ask the entire legislature to approve major limitations on the use of Cannabis medications. |  Veteran Cody Barlow asks his fellow Oklahomans to allow him to get off his addiction to prescribed tranquilizers by allowing him to resume the cannabis medications he was treated with, in a medical trial, in Colorado. |
