Lawmakers Face Conflicting Calls on Hemp and Marijuana Regulation
Lawmakers at the Georgia Capitol are considering how to regulate marijuana and hemp products, having heard from both sides of the issue last month.
A decade ago, lawmakers passed a medical cannabis law allowing patients on a state registry to obtain low-THC oil. However, some individuals, like Jennifer Conforti, have had to take matters into their own hands.
Conforti's 15-year-old daughter, Abby, who has profound autism, was prescribed powerful drugs, including benzodiazepines, which were not effective in managing her reactions.
Conforti decided to source marijuana and create a concentrate in her kitchen, despite it being against the law, after her daughter had to be restrained at school.
- Doctors initially prescribed Abby benzodiazepines to help with her reactions.
- Conforti resorted to breaking the law to help her daughter after conventional medications failed.
