Austin, Texas City Council Votes Unanimously in Favor of Legalizing Medical Cannabis

The City Council of Austin, Texas has voted to approve a resolution in favor of legalizing medical cannabis. The vote was unanimous.texasaustin

Although the resolution doesn’t actually legalize medical cannabis, the capital of Texas showing such conclusive support for allowing the medical use of cannabis will certainly have an impact on the state-wide discussion of the issue which is ongoing, with a proposal planned to be discussed in the 2015 legislative session.

Here’s the full text of the approved resolution:

Approve a resolution amending the City’s state legislative agenda to include support for: (1) legislation that would create an affirmative defense to prosecution for patients who are being treated by a licensed physician and who use medical marijuana; or (2) legislation to legalize the use of medical marijuana.

Austin is the 11th most populous city in the United States with a population of roughly 840,00.

    I am happy to see my home town approve medical cannabis. Hopefully the other cities and our representitives at the state capitol will follow suit as well. Hopefully the governor will help to get medical cannabis and industrial hemp legal and decriminalized in Texas also. If Texas would legalize medical cannabis then the VA could prescribe medical cannabis since it works well for my medical issues.

    My Wife was diagnosed with Breast cancer with metastases with bone/liver/ovary involvement, after so many Chemo and Radiation. I came across Patrick Moore through several testimonies of his Cannabis oil and I was able to contact him at: ricksimson_oil@qq.com, but the cannabis oil from Patrick Moore and I have been using Cannabis Oil to treat my wife cancerous diseases for the past 5 months. It’s been about 4 months since She stopped using it. All of the positive effects are still there. My wife is now healthy with no cancer in her body system anymore. Essentially her body feels like a 20 years old girl,while in reality she is 41 years old. Within 5 months of being on the oil She started to loose pounds, her metabolism is super fast. She can eat burgers at fast food joints and still loose weight. She sleep through the night, her digestive system works better than it ever has. she have NO back pain whatsoever. Even after being off the meds this long. This stuff is simply amazing. For help email: ricksimson_oil@qq.com,she is no longer a victim of cancer and I would love every other cancer patient at there to contact Patrick Moore for help via: ricksimson_oil@qq.com she do not have cancer anymore, but she still use her follow up medication for other cleansing of the body system. she started to use the oil to find its other benefits. Patrick Moore told us about how he believes the oil can reverse aging. I’m hoping it will slow it down or stop it completely. Not sure what to expect after prolonged use. I will update you guys to my findings of Patrick Moore HEMP OIL. Am using this medium to let you know that Patrick Moore HEMP OIL Oil will guarantee the total eradication of all types of cancers and other diseases as well. for help email: ricksimson_oil@qq.com
