Sotto: Up to Ejercito whether or not to conduct hearings on medical marijuana legalization 11 SHARES Share it! Sotto reminded Ejercito, a reelectionist lawmaker, about the upcoming midterm polls following the latter’s plan to deliberate on the possibility of legalizing medical marijuana. Ejercito, chair of the Senate committee on health and demography, earlier expressed openness to tackle prospects of allowing the use of medical marijuana, especially for cancer patients. Ejercito said he would discuss the matter with Sotto, who is a staunch anti-illegal drugs advocate, to help make sure that the permitted use of medical marijuana will not be abused. Gray, who later clinched the most-coveted Miss Universe title, said she supports the legalization of marijuana for medical use, but not for recreational use.
