Full Legalization Bills Pre-Filed for 2015 Legislative Session SR-6 SB-7
(APN) ATLANTA — Once again, Georgia will be among many U.S. states considering medicinal cannabis, or marijuana, in 2015.
Up for consideration in Georgia are a total of three pre-filed bills: State Rep. Allen Peake’s (R-Macon) House Bill 1, and State Sen. Curt Thompson’s Senate Bill 7 and Senate Resolution 6.
SB 7 and HB 1 are medicinal marijuana programs, while SR 6 is Thompson’s attempt at full legalization.
Both CBD and THC, or cannabinoids, offer great benefits for patients suffering from a vast array of aliments. The cannabinoid THC, however, contains psychoactive properties, whereas CBD’s do not.
“Regardless of someone’s socio-economic level, they should have access to medicines that can help them; their quality of life is the issue here,” Thompson told Atlanta Progressive News. “This will be modeled after the Arizona program.”
