A panel started writing the rules for a new medical marijuana law by listening to suggestions from people like Mark Newman, who travels to Nevada every few months and spends up to $1,000 to buy marijuana that he uses to treat his migraines.
“I was sick and tired of taking opioids,” Newman said Thursday. “You just keep taking them and taking them and taking them. Then all the sudden you forget how many you’ve taken.”
Newman held up what he said could be a solution to his condition and to concerns over how doctors will know the dosage and ingredients their patients would get if they tried marijuana under the new law that will soon take effect.
