Tennessee lawmakers propose bills to legalize both recreational and medical cannabis


Tennessee lawmakers are pushing for the legalization of recreational and medical cannabis in the state with the introduction of two bills. Senator Jeff Yarbro introduced the Tennessee Cannabis Act (SB 0809) allowing for personal marijuana use and creating rules for dispensaries. The act permits adults to possess and transport up to 60 grams of marijuana and cultivate up to 12 plants in a secure area. Additionally, the act allows for the production and sale of cannabis products in Tennessee.

Rep. Iris Rudder introduced the Tennessee Medical Cannabis Act (HB 0872) which would provide access to medical cannabis for patients with qualifying conditions. The bill aims to increase low-cost public health options, alleviate suffering, develop agricultural business, incentivize research on THC benefits, and regulate the production and sale of medical cannabis within the state.

Both acts have been proposed to bring about significant changes to current laws regulating cannabis in Tennessee. Supporters believe that legalizing cannabis for both recreational and medical purposes could bring economic benefits and healthcare options to the state. The bills are available for public review to understand the full rules and proposed changes to current laws.

If passed, Tennessee would join a growing number of states that have legalized recreational and medical marijuana. The debate surrounding the legalization of cannabis continues, with both supporters and opponents voicing their opinions on the potential impacts of such legislation.
