RICHMOND – According to a release issued by the Virginia chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, Senator Siobhan Dunnavant's bill SB 1557 to clarify and improve the regulation of pharmaceutical processors is heading to the governor's desk after unanimously passing its final vote in the senate.
“Last year we passed unanimously the historic Let Doctors Decide bill that expanded patient access to our medical cannabis program,” said Dunnavant, a medical doctor from Henrico. “We got a lot of things right, but there are some screws that can be tightened so the law better benefits the health and well-being of all Virginians.”
The new law aligns with prevailing medical cannabis research by allowing pharmaceutical processors to dispense full therapeutic-strength medical cannabis products, stated Virginia NORML in the release.
