MACON, Ga. (AP) - Medical marijuana supporters in Georgia were hoping for something different from the federal government, not its recent ruling that cannabis should remain off-limits.
Georgians like Janea Cox of Monroe County want to be able to get medical cannabis just like other prescriptions instead of breaking the law to seek therapies for themselves or their loved ones.
Cox tells The Telegraph (http://bit.ly/2bcJozN) that it was hard to see news of Thursday's ruling from the federal Drug Enforcement Administration. The agency decided that marijuana will remain on the list of most dangerous drugs, which includes heroin and LSD, The Associated Press reported.
Her daughter, 7-year-old Haleigh, takes a liquid made in part from cannabis to treat the symptoms of a severe seizure disorder that can stop her breathing.
