Let's talk about "reams of misinformation" shall we? Because that is EXACTLY what your editorial consists of. Had you truly done your research into this before just spewing your opinion, you might have noticed and reported more accurate findings. For starters... The Compassionate Care Act is not Governor Cuomo's plan to distribute marijuana through 20 hospitals. That is a 1980 law that he is trying to re-enact as a research project. The Compassionate Care Act is a comprehensive, tightly regulated bill written by Senator's Gottfried and Savino, to allow severely ill patients access to a small amount of medical marijuana through their physicians, all through the Dept of Health. Had you done your due diligence you also would have found TONS of information and physician findings about children who are DYING from their epilepsies who have their lives restored because of certain strains of medical marijuana. You speak of long term effects? Ever thought about the damaging short term effects of the horrible drugs these children have to take that don't even work? Many of these children have no long term because they will die from the ravages of the seizures. Your ignorance and lack of at least getting yourself fully educated is despicable. Shame on you. I pray that you never have to watch your child seize uncontrollably, but I bet you would change your thinking if you ever had to. Shame on you. Don't punish innocent children for the few who abuse.
