A Medical Cannabis Bill Just Passed in the Philippines, But Will the Senate Finally Legalize MMJ?

There will always be those that fight back.

We want to stop our lawmakers from their proposed law to legalize medical marijuana. Our lawmakers have a moral and legal responsibility to safeguard the well-being of the public,” said Dr. Tony Leachon.
