Tennessee State Senator Janice Bowling is reintroducing a bill that would allow for the use of medical marijuana.

If passed, the bill would allow qualified patients to access medical cannabis on a regular basis, as well as regulate the process of licensing growers to cultivate, produce, distribute, transport, sell and acquire marijuana for medical use and scientific research.

A special meeting hosted by Senator Janice Bowling will be held today (Thursday, January 9, 2020), for law enforcement leadership to review and discuss medical cannabis legislation.

Over the years, views have changed when it comes to medicinal marijuana. An MTSU poll from 2018 showed 81 percent of Tennesseans supported the idea.
