This past weekend, New York became the 23rd state in the US to legalize medical marijuana. Though Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the bill Saturday, it will be at least another 18 months before…
It’s about time it becomes legal. People need to take a step back and see
the benefits that marijuana offers. At the moment it’s completely legal for
you to go out and buy alcohol and get completely drunk, start fights whilst
doing damage your liver, yet it’s illegal to sit in the comfort of your own
home and smoke a joint and relax
Missy Miller is an Atlantic Beach resident and mother of two children,
Oliver and Katy. Her 14-year-old son, Oliver, suffered a stroke in utero
and as a result has a brain stem injury that causes him to have hundreds of
seizures a day. Because certain strains of marijuana have received
international attention for curbing seizures in children, Missy has devoted
her life to fighting for the legalization of medical marijuana in New York.
