On February 2, 2016 Virginia Parents for Medical Marijuana will hold a Press Conference at 11:15 am in front of the Virginia General Assembly Building in Richmond.The group, composed of parents and their children with intractable epilepsy, will be in Richmond to lobby members of the Assembly in support of Senate Bill (SB) 701, “Cannabidiol oil and THC-A oil; permitting of pharmaceutical processors to manufacture and provide.”The group was successful last year in helping to pass Senator Dave Marsden’s bill, SB1235 and Delegate Dave Albo’s bill, HB1445 which provided an affirmative defense to patients with intractable epilepsy taking Cannabidiol oil (CBD) or Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa) to treat their seizures without fear of prosecution. However, the current law fails to provide a method for individuals to acquire the oils without breaking state and federal laws.The parents hope to convince Virginia legislators that cannabis oil production and distribution in the state is a logical and necessary next step towards providing access to this medicine to patients across the state.The parents also support Senator L. Louise Lucas’s bill SB344, “Cancer; possession or distribution of marijuana for medical purposes,” which adds cancer as a condition to the current affirmative defense law.Senator Marsden, Delegate Albo, and Epilepsy Foundation representative Fernando Cordero, along with several parents, will provide statements and be available for interviews at the press conference.With over 300 members, Virginia Parents for Medical Marijuana is a parental advocacy group comprised of concerned parents with the mission of educating the public and legislators on the benefits of medical cannabis as a treatment for serious medical conditions.

My husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer that spread from his brain into the lungs and liver. he became so ill that it tired him out to do the smallest task; to walk across a room would take great effort and all his breath away. I was unable to bear his situation anymore and i begin to ask questions about cancer in my neighborhood and work place, above all i was praying that God should send healing to my husband and take the sorrow away from my family, one faithful evening my neighbor who recently moved to the neighborhood came to me that she heard that i have been asking question about cancer and told me about Jenny Kim hemp oil and how it cured her 9 years breast cancer. She gave me her email ([email protected]). It was a great joy that day and he’s my husband life saving angel, i ordered the oil and i received it that week and followed his instructions and gave my husband the hemp oil. To God be the glory my husband is totally cancer free and he is healthy and strong now, after which he reported that he could breath well, was not experiencing any pains and felt the good cells in his body. four days later our family doctor, Benson, reported there were no signs of him having any trouble breathing or problems with physical tasks and cancer; Thank you lord, my husband is much alive with the help of God’s servant Jenny. my husband is now able to breathe fully and deeply. His doctor reportedly says his liver is cancer free. That he does not seems to have a small amount of cancer in his liver and lungs again. The doctor is amazed at the effectiveness of the hemp oil. my husband and I believe the major changes in his body. Of course we do not deny the important role of dieting . my husband story is an ideal example of how hemp oil healing miracles often have in the body.) We Thank Jenny Kim for his miraculous hemp oil treatment. contact her with ([email protected])
