Before she had access to legal medical cannabis she could barely brush her teeth.

Sarah Wright, a 61-year-old from Rock Falls, Illinois, says she tried opiates to get relief from severe fibromyalgia -- a condition that causes constant severe pain flare ups -- but it was when she was approved and began to use medical cannabis that she found real relief.

Wright says if the program were to end, as it’s set to sunset in about 2 years, she would leave Illinois for a state where she could get cannabis legally. Wright joins others across the state urging the governor to approve 8 other conditions to the list of ailments people suffer from to get legal access to medical cannabis.
