OKLAHOMA CITY —Gov. Mary Fallin announced Wednesday she would ask lawmakers to support the legalization of medicinal cannabidiol oil on a limited, medically supervised, trial-only basis.

CBD is a component in the cannabis plant. Fallin said in a news release that research suggests that it may be effective to treat toddlers with rare conditions that cause seizures and strokes. CBD is an oil. Fallin said in the release that CBD is not intoxicating or used as a recreational drug

“I do not support legalizing the recreational use of marijuana,” said Fallin. “Nor do I support a broadly-defined ‘medicinal’ marijuana use that makes it easy for healthy adults and teenagers to find and buy drugs. I do support allowing potentially life-saving medicine to find its way to children in need. I am very interested in allowing limited, heavily supervised use of non-intoxicating CBD to be delivered on a trial-basis to sick children in Oklahoma.”

Rep. Jon Echols will lead a legislative study examining the possibility of allowing medical trials for the use of non-intoxicating CBD oils to children affected by severe seizures.

“I am extremely interested in the findings of that study, and I look forward to working with lawmakers in both parties to pursue policies that can help sick Oklahoma children,” said Fallin.

1. And everyone else who benefits medicinally from Cannabis? Fuck you.

You are felons and will be fully prosecuted if you get caught. Your ailment doesn't matter at all, you are serious criminals, just like rapists and murderers.

Gee, thanks Mary Fallin!!!

2. You can already buy CBD online. A bit pricey.

A friend of mine who can only see when she takes marinol or smokes pot, due to the vasodilation properties of THC, was going to try CBD, but we don't think it will help her.

3. What a hypocritical statement, she is opposed to the Medical Marijuana movement which did the

research and created the medicine she admits is helpful to children with a terrible affliction. If it was up to backward thinking like hers, that effective treatment would not exist. The people who discovered and refined and created these medicines were committing felonies when they did so because of attitudes like hers.
It is good that even a place like OK is considering doing a bit of something right, but frustrating that she refuses to see the larger lesson that is right in front of her eyes.

5. She is running for re-election, and may lose to Joe Dorman. I know many republicans who

say they will not vote for her. She has managed to piss off just about everybody in the state.
