In unanimous vote, Texas Senate moves forward an expansion of medical cannabis law
Keeping veterans out of House Bill 3703 appeared
to be the concession Sen. Donna Campbell,
R-New Braunfels, needed to pull unanimous support for this session’s medical
cannabis oil legislation.
Veterans dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder have
been some of the most compelling testimony during the hearings on the use of
medical cannabis. But Sen. Brian
Birdwell, R-Granbury, made it clear to the Senate this afternoon that
veterans would not be pawns.
