(Jan 10) AP That is quite interesting. Is Senate approval legalization? Or does the Governor have to sign the law too? What about the State House of Representatives? Have they already approved it?

States like Alabama and Mississippi, for instance, maintain laws permitting medical marijuana for severe epileptic conditions.* > *Other states, such as Virginia, enacted laws decades ago allowing for the possession of marijuana if individuals received prescriptions from doctors. Federal law, however, prohibits doctors from prescribing marijuana, rendering those laws invalid. Doctors can only write a recommendation for medical marijuana, which is different than a prescription.* [updated Janurary 8, 2018](http://www.governing.com/gov-data/state-marijuana-laws-map-medical-recreational.html) ***In Georgia, we have our own Weed War...*** ![wsb weed.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmczz28DdBr7gjcu3vbBWrUvpZGFnyi7gCvAEqZfV5R2QG/wsb%20weed.jpg) [WSB Atlanta's News Story](http://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/medical-cannabis-oil-supporters-want-to-legalize-cultivation-in-georgia/680537464) > *Medical cannabis oil supporters want to legalize cultivation in Georgia* ***In my opinion, the federal and state governments should repeal ALL laws that criminalize cannabis.*** [![benefits-thc-cbd-1024x683-1160x665.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVWYqQUS8qsAzfDrhcQodwLDBLWdUsVwVJEgoH5bB2kS8/benefits-thc-cbd-1024x683-1160x665.jpeg)](http://canadahealthservices.com/medical-benefits-of-marijuana/) Our brains have cannabanoid receptors. This is the very system that eliminates virtually all harmful effects of this benign plant. It is completely legal in D.C. so I think it is time for our government to allow all of the citizens of The USA to be able to use this benefitual plant as we wish. And it is the best anti-depressant on the planet..
