The House of Representatives has approved on third and final reading House Bill No. 10439 also known as the Medical Marijuana Bill or Access to Medical Cannabis Act legalizing the use of marijuana or weeds to treat some ailments.

“I am confident that the use of medical marijuana will not be abused, given the stringent regulations outlined in House Bill 10439,” Gorriceta said. Iloilo Rep.

The bill proposes the establishment of a Medical Cannabis Office responsible for issuing prescriptions after verifying that the prescribing physician was not listed on the Dangerous Drugs Board’s watch list.
