Serving as a state senator is rewarding because I am engaged in the intricate legislative process that often affects and improves the lives of people in our community. When we reconvened this week, we addressed legislation that I believe would be good for individuals in our district. Two years ago a bill was passed to allow the regulation of low THC oil, extracted from the cannabis plant, for the treatment of cancer, sickle cell disease, Crohn’s disease, Lou Gehrig’s disease, multiple sclerosis, mitochondrial disease, Parkinson’s and seizure disorders.
