Delaware Gov. Signs Bill to Allow Marijuana for Terminally Ill


Family members remember Robert Jester as a big man with a big presence, and on Wednesday, his story made a big difference to many terminally ill Delawareans.

Gov. Jack Markell signed "Bob's Bill" into law on Wednesday, which allows adults with a terminal illness and terminally ill patients under 18 with pain, anxiety, or depression to apply for medical marijuana cards. Patients can begin applying for cards in three months.

"My heart overflows today," said Crystal Jester, Bob's wife.

Bob never got to freely use cannabis oil to manage the symptoms of his terminal cancer, but his son Rich, who lobbied for the change, is hopeful that others struggling with a terminal illness will find some relief.
