Medical marijuana bill advances in Tennessee
In somewhat of a surprise, a medical marijuana bill was approved in a Tennessee legislative subcommittee by a voice vote yesterday. Next up is a vote in the full House Health and Human Resources Committee.
Please ask your legislators to support HB 294.
The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Jeanne Richardson (D-Memphis), told reporters that the bill envisions perhaps the strictest medical marijuana program in the country. In fact, it may be a bit too strict. By requiring physicians to “prescribe” marijuana, the bill would not be workable under federal law.
There’s still time to amend the bill, though. For now, the important thing is the attention yesterday’s vote received. News outlets throughout the state reported on the bill’s progress, sending a clear message that medical marijuana is a legitimate topic for discussion in the Volunteer State. Please keep that discussion going by emailing your legislators now.
Thanks for all you do!

Almost all varieties today contain large amounts of THCA which when heated provides THC. By volume (it is reported by weight actually), there is next to no CBDA or CBD in virtually all of the strains currently available. NOT ALL STRAINS ARE THE SAME! EVEN THE SAME NAMES ARE MOST OFTEN NOT THE SAME (mis-named, different grower = different method = different end product)! Over-generalization of this marvelous plant is what is diminishing its stock and ruining the value… Continue reading
