Georgia Senate Committee Approves Medical Marijuana Bill

Yet another state, and a very red one, is moving toward legalization.

The bill’s language was tweaked to provide immunity to Georgians found in possession of cannabis oil the bill’s sponsor is looking to legalize to treat certain illnesses like seizures. The proposed law would require users to obtain multiple clearances before being legally allowed to use the oil.

Although the oil is harvested from marijuana, it doesn’t get users high.

It’s been approved in the Georgia House and will likely pass the Senate.
