I guess no bong enemas for Georgia.

2. It's a good thing, but I do wonder if appointing Dr.s as the gatekeeper for the substance is

putting up a barrier in the way of full on legalization or at least decriminalization.

3. election year

You have to take the progress where it comes. It will be the first state in the Southeast to legalize marijuana for medical purpose.

You still can get a bong, but it is illegal to smoke marijuana in it.

4. Medical cannabis that is taken orally

sucks.

If you have nausea or vomiting, the last thing you want to do is try to swallow something.

For the sake of all that's hazy, allow patients to vaporize or smoke the natural herb. We don't need another pill or potion sold to us by the pharmaceutical industry.

5. I thought they were talking edibles

that covers quite a bit of territory. Don't know about the nausea of chemo but seems to be there could be a way.
