A group of parents advocating for the legalization of medical marijuana asked a Senate panel on Wednesday to pass a law that will give them easier access to affordable cannabis products without the risk of getting jailed.
Dr. Donnabel Trias-Cunanan, president and spokesperson of Cannahopefuls Inc., spoke before the Senate Subcommittee on Health and Demography, which tackled Senate Bill 230 or An Act Granting Access to Medical Cannabis as a Compassionate Alternative Means of Medical Treatment.
She narrated before the panel the tedious process of applying for a compassionate special permit so they could purchase and ship medical cannabis, which she said can help with her child's seizures."Nais ko pong ipaalam sa inyo sa lahat nang andito na ang compassionate special permit is not compassionate at all," she said.
Although they completed all the requirements, Cunanan said they can only buy a medicine that costs $32,000 because this is the only drug that meets the specific guidelines set by the Food and Drugs Administration. "Pangalawa, safe, ligtas na hindi ho kami mahuhuli or makukulong dahil lang ninanais namin na gumamit ng gamot na makakatulong sa aming mga anak. Safe na wala pong pesticides, wala pong insecticide na posibleng maka-harm pa po ng aming mga anak," she added.
