Nearly a year after it was first announced and nearly a month after it was deemed “imminent,” there is still no medical marijuana trial for children with epilepsy in New York, angering, if not surprising, advocates for greater access of the drug to children suffering from severe epilepsy disorders. “There is a drug that will be helpful for children with epilepsy,” state health commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker said during his confirmation hearing before the Senate health committee. “Imminently, we will announce which parts of the state and different institutions will be able to apply to see if they can get the drug.”
