        FRANKFORT- Representative John Sims, D-Flemingsburg, has filed legislation to make medical marijuana legal in Kentucky.

        House Bill 166 was unveiled Thursday by Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, D-Kentucky, and members of the medical marijuana task force. The bill includes proposals from the task force.
        “What started as a whisper years ago is now a loud chorus. Kentuckians have declared 2018 as the year they expect action on medical marijuana from their legislators,” Grimes said. “Now, with 29 states and the District of Columbia offering relief in the form of medical marijuana to their citizens, we must waste no more time. We’ve heard real, heart-wrenching stories from all over the Commonwealth about how access to cannabis can provide long-lasting and life-changing relief. The serious discussions this task force had have resulted in a solid piece of legislation that can change lives.”
        The bill would allow individuals with certain medical conditions to be eligible for medical marijuana use. It would also establish the Cannabis Enforcement Program within the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to help monitor the program.
        Medical marijuana legislation has been proposed in Kentucky in the past.

[10]  Up to one-third of people have an  aura : typically a short period of visual disturbance which signals that the headache will soon occur.

I guess it matters in some ways, but not to me. I don't really care for titles and therefore I don't give much meaning or power to them. But I understand that others do. So the CEO of Overstock needs to add his two cents worth to the Medical Marijuana issue. Patrick Byrne, founder, and CEO of online retailer Overstock.com tells the Deseret News he has medicated with cannabis and that he is rooting for a ballot initiative legalizing its medical use to succeed in Utah this November. MIDVALE — Count Patrick Byrne among those rooting for cannabis to be legalized for medicinal use by Utah voters at the ballot box later this year. The Overstock.com founder and three-time cancer survivor say he has medicated with cannabis to help him neutralize the effects of his numerous health issues over the years.
