Medical marijuana bill on its way
By Aaron Gould Sheinin
Jan 27, 2014Legislation that would legalize the limited use of medical marijuana will be introduced in the state House on Tuesday, the measure’s sponsor said.
Rep. Allen Peake, R-Macon, told colleagues he is seeking support for the measure, that would allow patients with select disorders to receive a prescription for medical cannabis that is taken orally.
Significantly, Peake said the bill will be publicly supported by the Medical Association of Georgia, the state’s largest professional group of doctors.
