The governor, who has been pushing for the state legislature to approve medical marijuana for the past year, now has 10 days to sign the bill into law. He is expected to act without hesitation.“I am proud and excited to sign this bill that will provide long overdue medical relief to patients and families who could benefit from this treatment,” Wolf said Wednesday in a statement. “I applaud members of both parties in the House and Senate who have come together to help patients who have run out of medical options and want to thank the thousands of advocates who have fought tirelessly for this cause.”Senate Panel OKs Medical Marijuana for VeteransBy a bipartisan vote of 20– 10, the Senate Appropriations Committee passed an amendment that would prevent the Department of Veterans Affairs (V.A.) from spending money to enforce a current policy that prohibits the department’s doctors from filling out medical marijuana recommendation forms in states where the drug is legal.The move is “an important step in restoring complete health care options for veterans,”Scott Murphy, president ofVeterans for Safe Accessand Compassionate Care, told Marijuana.com in an email. “With 22 daily veteran suicides, to include self-immolation on V.A. property, and an opiate epidemic that is effecting the veteran population in higher numbers than the civilian population, it is about time our politicians caught up with the populous views of American voters and take medical cannabis seriously.”<a href="http://www.marijuana.com/blog/news/2016/04/senate-panel-oks-medical-marijuana-for-veterans/" target="_blank">http://www.marijuana.com/blog/news/2016/04/senate-panel-oks-medical-marijuana-for-veterans/</a></blockquote>
