Go open to medicinal use of marijuana: Senate Committee on Health Chairperson Sen. Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go said he is open to the medicinal use of marijuana, but there should be enough safeguards for it not to be abused. During the hearing of the panel’s subcommittee on the Medical Cannabis Compassionate Access Act Wednesday, December 7, 2022, Go underscored the importance of proper regulation if Congress will allow and support medical marijuana. “As chair of the Committee on Health, I always prioritize the health of every Filipino and I am willing to support proposals that can help cure diseases,” Go said in a mixed of English and Filipino.
