“The goal for me has always been to
reach a compromise that gives comfort to seriously ill patients while
protecting law abiding citizens. The legislation passed today is a big step
forward that provides comfort to those suffering from debilitating illnesses
while implementing smart regulations to minimize risks to patients and
caregivers. By limiting the form in which this medicine can be prescribed and
tightly controlling its production and purchase, this legislation strikes the
right balance between compassion and common sense.”
