(Utica, NY – Nov. 12, 2015) State Senator Joseph Griffo, R-Rome, announced yesterday that his bill to help certain critically ill patients obtain emergency access to medical marijuana has been signed into law by the Governor.
“We thank the Governor for signing this important bill, which I sponsored in the Senate along with Assemblyman Richard Gottfried, chairman of the Assembly Health Committee,” Griffo said. “We hope this legislation will now help critically ill patients and children, like young Mackenzie Kulawy of New York Mills who suffers from a severe form of epilepsy, get the immediate treatment they need so they no longer have to await relief from their pain and suffering.”
