Topic: Marijuana Legalization

On May 2nd, 2016 my written testimony was submitted to Illinois lawmakers on the issue of expanding the medical marijuana program. Illinois' medical cannabis program is restrictive in a number of ways, from requiring fingerprints and passports to enroll, to the limited number of illnesses covered by law. People in the state are suffering, while legislators are restricting use of a relevant medicine. Illinois is a cash strapped, mismanaged state that could benefit by expanding availability of weed to patients in need. Beyond that limited step, Illinois needs to take advantage of the tax revenue that would be generated by recreational use. #FreeTheWeed
