A bid to exempt few compounds from a cannabis federal prohibition is a game change, though more had to be done, a leading medical marijuana legislative advocate of Georgia stated. R-Macon’s State Representative Allen Peake told he is ready to plead to the congressional representatives of Georgia to favor HR 5226 by Scott Perry, U.S. Rep. of R-Pa.
This would permit the possession of medical cannabis with low THC content and cannabidiol oil (a therapeutic hemp derivative). Both these products have very low THC contents. Peake refers to HR 5226 as a game changer partially since it would be the foremost creation from the coverlet federal prohibition on cannabis. It would also permit legal CBD shipment from locations, where it is already produced, like Colorado to patients in Georgia.

Peake stated - “There needs to be seismic change at the federal level” to eradicate the obstructions to marijuana-derived drug, but only as medicine. He’s totally against recreation usage.
However, even though the bill of Perry passes - “there would still be a need for a comprehensive infrastructure in Georgia,” he said. He’s taking into consideration more compounds than only CBD oil and more diseases than only the serious pediatric seizures that CBD is widely known to relieve.
Peake is planning to file a Georgia bill in the state legislature next year to form a medicinal cannabis framework to connect patients and their physicians to a range of vapor, liquid, and solid compounds for treating several types of diseases, not only pediatric epilepsy.

The idea of Peake does not in any way include smoking. Medical cannabis states like Minnesota have established such frameworks to eradicate the risk of state law enforcement from doctors who otherwise abide by the law, their patients, and potential drug manufacturers.
A more comprehensive bid is in the efforts from a legislative research committee on medical marijuana that co-chaired by Peake. It is scheduled to begin meeting by this month end and its members will look into the steps taken by the other states and what science has to say about medical marijuana among other queries.
This year, Peake approved a bill to permit CBD oil access to Georgia in the state legislature, though brinkmanship of the house senate eradicated the bill that was otherwise popular.
The bill authored by Perry has been referred to the Judiciary Committee and the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The legislature of Georgia is slated to begin work in January.
