Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried says she wants lawmakers to pass the broadest full flower smokable legislation to protect patients.

Unlike the House plan ready for a vote as early as next week, she says the decision for a minor to be able to smoke the medicine should be left up to the doctor, not the legislature.

“Well, again, I go back to a doctor and patient relationship. And if the doctors feel that for a minor, that is the best form of medicine, and it’s no so much the smokable aspect of it, but being able to use the raw flower for juicing purposes, so I leave that up to a doctor patient relationship,” said Fried.

The Governor has asked lawmakers to send him a bill complying with the intent of the constitutional amendment, which a judge has ruled includes smokable marijuana by March 15th, or he will consider dropping the states appeal of the smoking decision.
