In Annapolis, it is definitely good news for Frederick County Senator, David Brinkley, as it has taken almost one decade to minimize the criminal penalties for using medical marijuana.
As a Republican, Brinkley is one of the lead sponsors of the bill that permits marijuana users to be criminally free when found using the said drug. Also, Brinkley wants to run a research study regarding the general use of medical marijuana.
The bill was given the initial “ok” last Saturday by the House of Delegates. If this bill gets passed on Monday, Brinkley thinks it will be accepted already.
Brinkley, a cancer survivor, believes that a person should not be punished for using. He also believes that carrying a criminal record for the rest of one’s life is ridiculous as seeking the treatment for a chronic illness is not a crime, especially which other medicines cannot provide relief.
On the other hand, the bill does not cover those who use it in public places and in doses of more than an ounce.
