Medical Pot Legalization Bill Introduced in Alabama
A new bill has been introduced to legalize medical cannabis in Alabama. Somewhat unusually, it was put forth by a Republican.
State Sen. Tim Melson introduced the bill, which is restrictive compared to medical cannabis laws enacted in other states. It would limit marijuana use to patients who suffer from certain ailments, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PSD), anxiety, and cancer. However, those with other afflictions would be able to appeal to the state for qualification.
This is not Melson's first attempt; a similar bill passed in the state Senate last year, but did not make it through its House of Representatives.
