        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.

No waiting Although adults can already legally   buy marijuana , they won’t have anywhere to purchase it until January, though that seems unlikely. From setting up a licensing system to establishing regulations, state officials have their work cut out for them. A medical cannabis card before 2018 will ensure you get marijuana today. Lower age requirement While you have to be at least 18 to get an MMJ   prescription , the minimum age for  using   cannabis recreationally is 21 .

MIGRAINES If you have ever had a Migraine you know that this is not a fun topic and that those of us who suffer from them really would do almost anything to get ride of them. It's why I wanted to research a little bit about this topic. Below is what I have found. Wikipedia says this about Migraines A  migraine  is a  primary headache disorder  characterized by recurrent  headaches  that are moderate to severe.
