ATLANTA — Gov. Nathan Deal told Channel 2’s Lori Geary, “Tomorrow is going to be a good day,” in an exclusive interview about the launch of Georgia’s medical marijuana cards.

Geary learned the Georgia Department of Public Health’s website will go live Tuesday morning.

An emotional Deal says parents of kids with severe seizure disorders were the driving force for him signing the bill into law.

“On a personal level, trying to put ourselves in their place, it would be difficult for anybody to have to watch their child have multiple seizures every day,” Deal said.
