@GlennYoungkin Dear Gov. Youngkin, I heard You want more restrictions on Cannabis. Also Hemp based Products congress.gov/bill/115th-con… I am 64, have extraordinary pain & misery from #MultipleSclerosis Arthritis. Have a Medical Cannabis Card and Zero access now. Rethink please 🙏🏼

I had a Medical Cannabis Card in Vermont, where I lived for 40 years. I had a convenient Cannabis Products store. Before we moved, I checked out Virginia. Was relieved I could get a card. Disappointed at lack of access for a Responsible Adult Retired Disabled Nurse. It hurts.

I turned to deltaextrax.com. I tried a few different products and found one that is particularly helpful in softening my pain and other symptoms of MS. I was relieved they were covered under Farm Bill because THC less than 0.3%. Works better for my symptoms than Cannabis.

So the Thought of You coming in as Governor and taking away a product that offers Me so much physical benefits, has got me Down. I’m asking for You to Reconsider rules about Cannabis/CBD for Medical Use. I’m an Adult and My Doctors are Aware. traveloguefortheuniverse.blogspot.com/search?q=Canna…+

My Neuro Doctor in Vermont said She could prescribe Opioids for My Unrelenting Deep Pervasive Pain, or She could certify Me for a Medical Cannabis Card. No question more research is needed journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20… I opted for the card. My life better when I got home delivery.&

In Virginia 3 years, I qualified, received Virginia Medical Cannabis Card. I have not been able to access any Medical Cannabis. Poorly designed, Legislature neglected commercial outlet options for Patients to Access Quality Products. CBD/Low THC products available. @vah_genlaws

I thought about how to address You in this sensitive issue. I am exposing myself & My Medical Information in hopes of helping My #MultipleSclerosis symptoms and in hopes of helping other Adult Responsible Patients through Advocacy and, frankly, desperate Begging 🙏🏼 for your help.

I was disappointed to read @US_FDA guidance on CBD, Delta-8,10 and more. Especially since I am trying to Stop Toxic Heavy Metal #Gadolinium use in humans-used for MRI’s. @US_FDA Has no concerns about metal retained for years traveloguefortheuniverse.blogspot.com/search?q=Gadol…

I’ll stop writing. I hope You carefully consider how a group of responsible patients with life altering pain, symptoms keeping us from living, are using various forms of Cannabis/Hemp. We need to feel Supported, Not in the shadows. Not punished on top of being dealt a bad hand 🃏
