CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. - Tuesday evening many in Chambersburg came to the Eugene C. Clarke community center where they could learn more about Virdis Medicine. Daniel Kearns is the managing operator for the company and says their goal is to provide medications to people in need.

There are 17 qualifying conditions, things like cancer, HIV, PTSD, epilepsy, so you have to have medical documentation that you have one of these conditions and you obviously have to get the recommendation from a physician, said Kearns.

During his presentation, he outlined that they were interested in Chambersburg because of it's location in South Central Pennsylvania.

When you look at the South Central Zone in Pa, Franklin County is in the middle and there are going to be a lot of counties in the South Central zone that don't receive a dispensary and we want to make sure that everyone in the zone has access to the medication, said Kearns.

Once Kearns was done with his presentation, people had the chance to both comment and ask questions. Deb and Richard Miller have a 35-year-old son who is autistic, and they believe their son could benefit from medical marijuana.

He's on very powerful medications right now, which have had some significance side affects and some of the research; I used to be a medical librarian indicates that medical marijuana would be helpful with someone with autism, said Deb Miller.

Karen Diller has a 20-year-old daughter who has struggled with seizures most of her life. She gave a personal testimony about how medical marijuana worked for their family and knows it will help others.

I know several people with situations such as ALS, cancer, MS, different things that I know people that really need to try this because it could be a life changer, it certainly has for us, said Diller.
