"Drug advocates in New York say a medical marijuana law is needed now, and that a medical marijuana bill that was passed last month should be implemented immediately and not in a year and a half. Since it was passed, two children who experienced the same types of severe seizures as Conte have died."
Don't mean to sound crass, move to a state that has medical marijuana.

The FED and states are not on the same page. There are many cases of the FEDS coming in despite state laws. Until this is agreed to at a federal level people are setting themselves up for much suffering.
