Medical cannabis should be approved for the seriously ill - Rockford |
Julie Falco eats brownies or cookies with cannabis baked in them three times a day to help her deal with multiple sclerosis.
"I was taking a multitude of medications and they made me feel sick," the 44-year-old Chicago woman said in a telephone interview Thursday. She tried cannabis and it worked for her when nothing else would. That's not legal in Illinois, but should be. |

SB1381 Passed thru Full Senate & the House Human Services Committee, Now Awaits House Floor Vote! |
|
May 31, 2009: We now have until January to get the 60 votes that we need because they've recessed until then. The bill is not dead though, it will start off exactly where it left off when they return. Hopefully we can get a favorable vote in the House now that the Senate has approved this measure and then send it over to Gov. Quinn's desk. Keep making phone calls and sending emails to State Representatives http://www.ilga.gov/house/ and the Governor http://www.illinois.gov/GOV/
Senate Bill 1381 is the farthest that a medical cannabis bill has made it in the legislative process in Illinois and we need to use this momentum to get the bill through the House chamber. Please contact your State Representative and the Governor at 217-782-2000 and urge them to "Vote YES on Senate Bill 1381." |
