There are boundless opportunities arising for SK/BB's advanced cannabis-based dietary supplements as state by state fall to the inevitable, ultimately leaving recalcitrant feds very little choice in moving to reschedule -- thereby derailing their highly lucrative Big Pharma gravy train.
Tennessee, Big Pharma's playground, has become a battle-ground state. It's not just the Millie Mattison case -- whose family had to move to MMJ-legal Colorado to help their child dramatically reduce seizure incidence -- that is fueling momentum. See the stories below. If MMJ is legalized in Tennessee, the shockwave will wake up those states still hesistant about MMJ and could send a bolt of extreme anxiety into Big Pharma.

(WMC-TV) - A Mid-South child fights for her life while her parents fight for legislation to legalize a cannabis-derived oil to treat their daughter's illness.
The parents have tried everything. They wonder why the one thing that may help their daughter is being denied.
"She was having hundreds of seizures a day," said Peden Grauer. "She's a sweet baby. She's such a sweet girl."
Her two-year-old daughter Chloe suffers from a seizure disorder that requires 24 hour care. The family has nurses and uses almost a dozen medications to control the seizures.
She says her daughter has deteriorated. Chloe is on oxygen and has to be suctioned frequently just to breathe properly. She cannot hold her head up.
"We have no options," said Grauer referring to legal options in Tennessee.
Grauer and her husband would like to try an oil, which some people call Charlotte's Web oil. It is derived from a type of marijuana plant that has been used successfully in Colorado and showing dramatic results in children with the disorder.
The family has gone to the Tennessee legislature looking for help.
Tennessee State Representative Mike Carter pushes for legislation to make it legal to possess CBD, the cannabidiol oil that can quiet excessive electrical and chemical activity in the brain.
"My bill says lets test it to see under-controlled circumstances so the parents can rest assured of what they are putting in their children, and we can rest assure what results come from it," said Carter.
Carter wants a pilot project to study the effects of the oil containing CBD. It does not get a user high.
Chloe could be a candidate for the project.
"You lie in bed awake at night wondering what could have been," said Grauer.
Representative Carter said he will file and amendment to his bill Thursday that could start the process to get the study project going.

(WMC-TV) - The Medical Cannabis Act stalled in committee Tuesday in Nashville. If passed, House Bill 1385 would allow Tennessee patients with a card to get prescribed medical cannabis, but legislators have concerns.
"It's not the 60s. It's not the 70s. All the hippies have grown up. We need to move forward. We need to move up to 2014," said Tenn. State Representative Sherri Jones.
The bill lists diseases and conditions where medical cannabis could be prescribed. Some lawmakers say the list is too broad; they fear medical cannabis would be available to people who want it for recreational use.
"Look at the other 22 states who already use this ... Who know how to dose it ... Some who have been using it for 16 years," said Jones.

One of the sponsors of the bill plans to remove a small section and define exactly which diseases could be treated with medical cannabis to make the bill more acceptable to legislators.
It will come up in committee again next week.
