A new bill has been presented to the Tennessee House of Representatives. The Koozer-Kuhn Medical Cannabis Act, is a Tennessee marijuana legalization bill that promotes the use of marijuana for medical reasons. Local advocates and organizations have been attempting to make cannabis legal for personal use for decades.
Supporters of the bill range widely from those who only support medical marijuana to others who opt for making the herb legal for personal use. There are also those who support legalization strictly for medical reasons. Whatever the outcome, it is important that the herb be taxed and regulated appropriately.
Other states recently supporting full legalization of cannabis have created an increased level of support for medical use, or at the very least decriminalization. This includes Texas, the first state to make the herb illegal just over one hundred years ago. A state where citizens were once able to purchase cannabis over the counter, or place an order by U. S. Mail.
Decriminalization in conservative states like Texas is progress. It was only 100 years ago when individuals could buy cannabis over the counter, or place mail orders in the State. It became illegal to possess or use cannabis beginning with Texas in the early 1900s, after which other states followed suit.
Other states have also decriminalized cannabis for the right reasons. Some being to prepare for setting up medical programs or to work towards full legalization. It is for these reasons the topic is so present in U. S. Newspapers and news programs. Up until a short time ago, individuals breaking the law in many states which have now decriminalized possession as well as usage, faced serious jail time.
There are now twenty one which have legalized marijuana for medical use. As Colorado and Washington are now seeing a surplus with regards to monetary standing, there is no doubt others will follow. As for Tennessee, Texas and other conservative areas, this remains to be seen.
Representatives may very well sign this new bill into law in Tennessee. This is because of an ongoing belief that if cannabis can can cure diseases such as cancer, it can also prevent same. Others remain distant in hopes of full legalization while others remain opposed with regards to both legal and medical use.
There are many lawmakers in both liberal and conservative areas of the United States telling local citizens if it can be proven that medical cannabis cures or prevents disease, votes and views may change. In many areas, this alone is progress. As for Tennessee, only the House of Representatives, citizens and voters have the power to change current laws relating to legalization.
Tennessee may or may not follow Colorado and Washington with full legalization whereas other states are already working on language to pass similar bills. Medical cannabis definitely has a better chance, especially in Tennessee. Those suffering only hope State representatives will have mercy and pass this new bill allowing for growth and distribution on a medical basis.
