HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / March 18, 2015 / Nhale Inc.'s (NHLE) CEO Lance Williams today commented on the bills introduced by Texas lawmakers last Friday calling for comprehensive medical marijuana legislation that would allow patients suffering from serious conditions to access the plant with a doctor's prescription. "Among the negative consequences of marijuana prohibition, none is as unfortunate as the deprivation of medical marijuana to the tens of thousands of patients who could benefit from its therapeutic use," said Williams.

Rep. Marisa Marquez (D-El Paso) introduced House Bill 3785 and Sen. Jose Menendez (D-San Antonio) introduced a companion bill in the Senate to provide safe and legal access to medical marijuana.

"Historically, Texas has led the nation in innovative medical research. We trust the state will take the scientific and reasonable approach to the known benefits of medical marijuana and join the 23 other states that allow people with qualifying medical conditions to access medical cannabis," said Williams. "Marijuana has been shown to be a valuable aid in the treatment of a broad range of clinical applications, including pain relief, nausea, spasticity, glaucoma and movement disorders. We encourage Texas lawmakers to review the studies and support this legislation."

More than 60 U.S. and international health organizations support granting patients access to medical marijuana, including the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Nurses Association, the Multiple Sclerosis Society, New England Journal of Medicine and the National Association for Public Health Policy, as reported by NORML.

Three out of four Texans, or 77 percent, feel seriously ill people should be able to access marijuana for treatment, according to a University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll released in February, 2014.
