The disorder, similar to Parkinson’s disease, robbed Roshay of control of her muscles, leaving her essentially bedridden, she said Sunday at the Pennsylvania Cannabis Festival in Kutztown.
In the four years since medical marijuana became available to patients with a prescription in Pennsylvania, the industry has subtly transformed Pennsylvania’s landscape with more than 100 cannabis dispensaries across the state.
