Governor Deal to Sign Bill Allowing Limited Medical Marijuana Use
Friday, March 27th, 2015
Georgia Republican Governor Nathan Deal will sign legislation legalizing a non-smoking form of medical marijuana for patients with seizure disorders and seven other medical conditions, the governor's spokesman said on Thursday.
Deal plans to wait until after the legislative session ends next week before signing it, spokesman Brian Robinson said.
But he expects to issue on Friday an executive order directing state agencies to begin preparing to enact the legislation, Robinson added.
