What happened
Tennessee lawmakers are debating a proposal to establish a medical marijuana program in the state, a topic they have discussed for over a decade. The State Senate Judiciary Committee reviewed a 99-page proposal from the Tennessee Medical Cannabis Commission. This proposal would create a highly regulated market where the State Health Department licenses growers, processors, dispensaries, and testing labs.

Why it matters
The proposed program would limit access to individuals with qualifying conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease and certain cancers. Products would be restricted to forms like capsules, tinctures, and oils, and home cultivation would be prohibited.
