Savino lauds passage of her PTSD marijuana bill
Military veterans and others suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) will have the option of treating the condition with medical marijuana if a bill passed by the state Senate on Tuesday is signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
State Sen. Diane Savino (D-Coney Island-Bensonhurst-Staten Island) sponsored the groundbreaking legislation.
Technically, the bill adds PTSD to the list of conditions that qualify individuals to be treated with medical marijuana in New York state.
