HAVE SEEN SUFFER FROM PAINFUL, DEBILITATING GENETIC DISORDERS OR FROM LONG AND PAINFUL DEATHS FROM CANCER, WHOM I BELIEVE KNEW THAT THERE WERE OR WOULD HAVE BEEN REAL BENEFITS FROM CBD OIL OR EVEN OTHER THINGS THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO US TODAY, I FEEL REALLY STRONGLY THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THIS BODY SHOULD CONSIDER. SO WITH THAT, I WOULD MOVE THAT THE BODY PASS THE BILL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SENATOR. THE SENATOR FROM ROCKINGHAM, SENATOR OBENSHAIN.Sen. Mark Obenshain (R-Harrisonburg): MR. PRESIDENT, SPEAKING TO THE BILL.
[Unknown]: THE SENATOR HAS THE FLOOR.
Sen. Mark Obenshain (R-Harrisonburg): MR. PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE SENATE, LAST YEAR WE DID HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT CBD OIL AND I VOTED FOR THAT BILL. I'VE TYPICALLY BEEN RELUCTANT TO VOTE FOR BILLS LIKE THAT AND BILLS LIKE THIS, BUT LAST YEAR, WHAT WE HAD WAS A PROLONGED DEBATE AND DISCUSSION ABOUT THE ISSUE AND ABOUT INTRACTABLE EPILEPSY. WE HAD A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE THAT WAS PRESENTED TO THE COURTS OF JUSTICE COMMITTEE, SIGNIFICANT PEER REVIEWED MATERIAL THAT WAS BROUGHT TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND SHOWN TO US WITH RESPECT TO THE IMPACT OF CBD OIL ON INTRACTABLE EPILEPSY.
