In the United States of America, there are twenty one states that have already legalized the usage of marijuana as long as it is used for medicinal purposes. Just very recently, the state of Tennessee would also want to join in this bandwagon and would also want to make this drug legal so that those suffering from illnesses will benefit. Of course, there have been problems with the Tennessee Marijuana legalization bill as not everyone agrees with it.
Now this bill created by the representative Sherry Jones. His primary concern with the use of cannabis is that there are many people who are suffering from diseases that would cause them a lot of pain. He states that people undergoing these pains would actually benefit from taking cannabis as it would numb the pain.
Now one of the problems with this bill is that people would always have a common misconception about the substance because of drug abusers. Since drug abusers would just smoke this substance, get high, and do things that would affect public peace, many see this substance as a source of trouble. However, what they do not see is that it can be used as medicines if transformed into one.
Now according to the bill, only those who are suffering from really bad diseases are allowed to be able to take this drug. The catch here is that it has to first be prescribed by the doctor before one can even use it. When one gets his prescription from the doctor, he has to take it to the state health department to get it approved before he can use cannabis.
Of course there are some conditions before one can be able to use this drug legally. One of the conditions is that he must not have a criminal record or a record of drug abuse. If the authorities would find out that he has either one of the two, then he will be banned from using the drug even if it is for medicinal purposes.
Of course even if he is already allowed to use the drug, he still cannot just use it anywhere. Some of the places that he cannot use it would be in public vehicles, near school grounds, or places with a lot of people. As long as there are people who would affected by the smoke along the vicinity, it will be a restricted area.
Now the name of the bill is Koozer Kuhn Medical Cannabis Act and has been named after Piper Koozer. For those who do not know, Piper Koozer is a two year old girl who has a condition that makes her body undergo serious seizures from time to time. However, her parents were able to lessen the seizures by using an oil that had some parts of cannabis in it.
Now representative Sherry Jones has already tried passing this bill during the previous year. The first time he passed it, it was rejected immediately as there were many in the top that did not agree. However, since there are a lot of people who are now asking for its legalization, the bill might just be approved by the top authorities.
