News out of Harrisburg, Gov. Tom Corbett has changed his position on medical marijuana and is backing the legalization of a marijuana extract to treat severe seizures in children
Corbett had been under pressure from parents who believe the oil extract, called cannabidiol, can save the lives of their seizure-wracked children. Democrats running to challenge Corbett in the fall election also favor the legalization of medical marijuana.
Corbett's office confirmed to the Associated Press on Thursday of his decision.
