    TN Passes Amendment to Bill to Exclude Cannabis Oil from Definition of 'marijuana'

    Amendment to HB2461:
    http://www.capitol.tn.gov/Bills/108/Amend/HA1150.pdf

    From what I hear, it passed, or will pass the state legislature, and only needs to be signed by the Gov. It will allow for a 4 year period to conduct studies involving cannabis oil. We have a good Ag program at my school, and they are wanting to grow it at our organic farm. The cannabis oil from it will be used to study effects in treating people with certain types of epilepsy.

    For TN, this is a big deal; they have been hardcore anti-anything-that sounds-like-decriminalizing-weed for years. I'll probably go to the open forum next week to get more details.

    Cannabidiol — CBD— is a cannabis compound that has significant medical benefits, but does not make people feel “stoned” and can actually counteract the psychoactivity of THC. The fact that CBD-rich cannabis doesn’t get one high makes it an appealing treatment option for patients seeking anti-inflammatory, anti-pain, anti-anxiety, anti-psychotic, and/or anti-spasm effects without troubling lethargy or dysphoria. Scientific and clinical studies underscore CBD’s potential as a treatment for a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, diabetes, alcoholism, MS, chronic pain, schizophrenia, PTSD, antibiotic-resistant infections, epilepsy, and other neurological disorders. CBD has demonstrated neuroprotective and neurogenic effects, and its anti-cancer properties are currently being investigated at several academic research centers in the United States and elsewhere.
    Project CBD provides educational resources for physicians, patients, and the general public. We respond to inquiries from all over the world. Almost everyone wants to know where to get CBD and how to use it for maximum benefit. After decades in which only high-THC cannabis was available in North America and beyond, CBD-rich strains and products are now accessible to medical users.
    On this website, you’ll find cutting-edge information on developments in cannabinoid science and therapeutics, as well as practical information from doctors and patients who are exploring the use of CBD-rich cannabis. You will also learn how you can participate in a grassroots, populist effort to harness the curative qualities of CBD-rich cannabis.

    'We endorse the idea of voluntarism; self-responsibility: Family, friends, and churches to solve problems, rather than saying that some monolithic government is going to make you take care of yourself and be a better person. It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988

    I talked to a MPP employee about such bills. He wasn't happy. I left the conversation not even being sure if these bills are a net positive.
