Restrictive Medical Marijuana Bill Barely Clears Utah Senate

A medical marijuana proposal that would legalize edible, vapor, and topical cannabis products was recently approved by Utah state senators on Monday, with lawmakers voting 13-15 to advance the bill.
Senate Bill 73 still has one more regulatory hurdle to clear – 1 more vote in the Senate, which could happen as soon as Wednesday. Senate Bill 89, a competing bill that would permit an extract to treat medical conditions, was passed with an 18-8 Senate vote, and is now on its way to the House for consideration.

Marijuana May Soon be an Approved Treatment for PTSD in Rhode Island

The Rhode Island Senate Health and Human Services Committee is contemplating legislation that would allow post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to be treated with medical marijuana.
The bill, introduced by Democratic Sen. Stephen Archambault, would add PTSD to the list of debilitating medical conditions that qualify for medical marijuana treatment. The legislation would also allow patients who are eligible for hospice care to receive an expedited approved medical marijuana use application. [1]
