I did not see the piece with Mr. Morgan... But, I have talked to people about this subject and they were definitely voting NO! They had no reason other than it was marijuana...no research, nothing. They hear the word MARIJUANA and immediately envision their Grandkids cruising Sunset Blvd. with Cheech and Chong!
So, in the end, marijuana is a victim of it's own name. IF this medication had be called pfizhandioumin, with the associated 3 paragraphs of warnings and side effects, it would be a no brainer...
Just my 2 cents on this subject...

Hi memason: The termed Charlotte's web was an oil extract from marijuana that had no high effect. I am not certain of its efficacy but support that type of study PROVIDED its use is strictly monitored so society does not end up with another opoid problem.
Morgan in my personal view is not a very nice individual and he catered to groups of people who really wanted this bill passed as an advance to recreational marijuana. If you read the definition of a care giver in the now defeated Amendment 2 a drug dealer could qualify.
