Secondly,
it
sets
up
a
process
for
decriminal
decriminalizing
possession
of
0.9
thc
cannabis
oil
for
a
limited,
limited
number
of
patients
with
diseases.
Currently
it
is
decriminalized
0.9
percent
thc
oil
is
is
decriminalized
for
epilepsy
and
seizures.
We
are
adding
eight
other
conditions
to
that
it
has
the
commission
prioritize
their
recommendations
for
the
creation
of
a
patient
registration
system
in
order
to
facilitate
reciprocity
and
access
for
patients,
including
those
nine
groups,
to
obtain
the
0.9
oil?
D
It
prohibits
what
I
call
a
corporate
medical
cannabis
program
until
cannabis
is
removed
from
schedule
one.
So,
in
other
words,
if
the
program
calls
for
cultivation,
distribution,
processing
or
shipping
of
cannabis,
it
explicitly
does
not
mention
patients
or
research
in
the
event,
in
the
event
that
we
would
like
to
either
have
patients
do
research
or
decriminalize
for
patients
in
the
in
the
future,
the
bill
does
have
a
fiscal
note.
It
is
funded
in
the
budget.
Speaker
sexton
is
supportive
of
the
bill.
Governor
lee
has
removed
his
philosophical
flag
from
the
bill.
A
A
E
D
D
D
They
they
have
a
program
over
there
or
georgia,
and
that
that's
why
that
part's
in
there
it
does
not
increase
the
amount
of
thc
that
they
can
get.
We've
kept
it
at
that,
but
that
part
would
help
facilitate
them.
But
of
course
the
recommendations
would
have
to
come
from
the
commission,
and
it
would
be
something
that
we
would
have
to
come
back
next
year
and
and
pass
some
legislation
for
that
for
the
actual
registration.
E
A
D

D

F
D
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
then
so,
if
between
now
and
when
we
come
back
into
session,
let's
say
the
federal
government
at
that
point
that
they
make
marijuana
schedule
two
instead
of
schedule.
One
does
the
role
of
that
of
the
the
commission
that
we
are
establishing
does
their
role
change
at
all.
If,
between
now
and
next
january,
marijuana
becomes
a
schedule
two
and
not
a
schedule.
One.
D
D
D
It's
very
likely
that
we
may
have
10
20
bills
that
people
want
to
come
through
here,
but
if
we
have
something
in
place
where
we
have
recommendations
and
people
that
have
looked
at
that
issue,
we
can
be
focused
on
one
more
issue,
because
you
know
if
they
do
deschedule
it.
The
question
then
becomes
you
know:
do
you
have
100
oil,
which
I
was
talking
about
the
spray?
Is
that
a
schedule
two?
Do
you
have
something
potentially
in
a
cream
as
a
schedule?
Three
or
four?
And
do
you
have
something
like
a
point?
D
Nine
percent
like
we
have
in
here
something
that
you
would
do
like
behind
the
counter.
Where
you
would
still
get
a
letter
of
attestation,
it's
just
not
in
the
schedule,
because
of
it's.
It's
not
that
strong
of
a
it
doesn't
have
a
high
high
thc
content,
and
so
those
are
things
that
they
would
look
at.
F
So
and
I'm
gonna,
I'm
just
gonna-
ask
both
of
these
together,
so
mainly
on.
As
far
as
the
the
role
of
the
commission,
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
between
now
and
next
january,
again,
if,
if
marijuana
or
cannabis,
is
descheduled
or
rescheduled
that
suddenly
that
commission
doesn't
have
any
type
of
licensing
powers
or
anything
like
that
before
we
come
back,
and
so,
if
you
wouldn't
care
to
answer
that,
let
me
go
ahead
and
just
ask
my
follow-up
as
well.
F
Obviously
iris,
I
respect
you
as
a
legislator,
you
and
I
are
usually
on
the
same
page.
I
know
how
how
deeply
you
look
into
issues
and
how
deeply
you
study
them.
I
know
you
do
that
in
your
day,
job
as
well,
and
so
that's
why
I
asked
my
this
last
question,
just
in
your
in
your
medical
judgment,
the
conditions
that
we're
adding
to
this
bill
and
the
conditions
that
can
now
use
cannabis
oil.
F
D
D
D
Years
ago
2015
we
passed
the
right
to
try
act,
which
said
that
if
something
was
in
past
phase
one
of
fda
trials,
it's
essentially
took
it
from.
I
think
100
doctor
hours
down
to
three
hours
to
get
somebody
into
that,
and
so
knowing
that
there
are
studies
out
there,
you
have
a
bona
fide
prac
physician
practitioner
relationship
and
I've
got
an
ag's
opinion
as
well.
D
G
D
G
D
Sponsor
thank
you.
I
I
I
will
tell
you
there.
There
was
one
and
that's
part
of
this
bill.
Is
I
explicitly
excluded
the
research
that's
being
done
at
those
universities
to
make
sure
that's
in
there,
so
that
they're
not
impacted
from
that.
So
I
I
don't
know
if
I
was
there
specifically
on
that
one,
but
I
was
here
for
one
of
those
and
I'll
be
honest
with
you.
I
voted
against
that
bill.
D
I
think
it
impacted
mtsu.
I
just
didn't,
did
not
know
the
issue
and
and
made
it.
I
think
it
was
in
my
first
session
and
I
you
know-
and
I
just
I
just
did
not
know
the
issue
and
for
me
you
know,
meeting
seeing
patients
seeing
what
I
you
know
have
patients
tell
me
before
they
go
into
surgery.
What
you
know
what
they've
had
to
go
through
seeing
patients
that
are
on
opioids
that
have
bowel
obstructions
things
like
that.
You
know
it's.
D
G
Last
one,
my
wife
and
I
have
custody
of
a
19
month
old
because
his
parents
have
drug
and
alcohol
problems,
and
my
wife
has
been
the
chairman
of
the
board
of
anti-drug
coalition
around
canada
for
several
years
now,
and
we
all
know
that
marijuana
is
a
gateway
drug
and
I
don't
know
why
in
the
world
they
named
it
this,
but
our
pros
our
d.a,
our
public
defender,
some
judges,
sheriffs
and
such
now.
We
call
it
recovery
court
now,
which
is
proper
name.
G
He
had
a
nice
house,
he
had
a
nice
boat,
motorcycle,
a
pickup,
a
car,
a
wife
and
kids,
and
he
told
me
that
he'd
smoke
marijuana
in
the
shower,
and
I
believe
him
because
I
had
an
uncle
that
smoked
cigarettes
in
the
shower.
He
had
light
one
and
go
in
lay
it
up
on
the
above,
the
shower
door
and
he'd
smoke
cigarette
while
he's
staying
sheriff.
So
I
believe
that-
and
he
just
got
some
mellow
as
they
used
to
say
back
in
the
60s
and
early
70s.
He
wouldn't
go
to
work.
G
D
D
The
issue
is
patience.
I
don't
want
patients
going
and
getting
who
knows
what
on
the
street,
they
don't
know
the
percentage
of
thc
that
they've
got.
They
don't
know
if
it's
laced
with
something
they
don't
know
what
it
is,
but
if
they
can
get
a
0.9
oil
and
it
keeps
them
from
going
to
the
street
and
it
helps
them,
that's
a
win
that
keeps
them
from
going
and
and
going
down
that
road.
So
I
I
do
understand
where
you
come
from.
D
B
Chairman
reedy
you're
recognized,
thank
you,
mr
chairman
and
dr
terry.
I
appreciate
all
your
hard
work
on
this
looking
in
the
bill
as
amended,
the
reciprocity
portion
of
that.
So,
if
there
is
a
medical
patient
in
need,
what
would
be
the
soonest
in
the
state
of
tennessee?
Could
they
get
that
card
and
and
be
provided
with
reciprocity?
D
Thank
you
great
question,
so
this
bill
does
not
have
reciprocity
from
it.
Doesn't
it
doesn't
create
that
process
and
what
it
does
is
it?
Has
the
commission
prioritize
that
as
their
recommendation,
they
they
would
give
a
recommendation
january
1
and
then
this
body,
whether
it's
me
or
you
or
some
other,
that
wants
to
run
a
a
bill
and
then,
as
soon
as
we
can
get
that
bill
through
a
committee
and
then
hopefully
get
signed,
then
then
that's
when
that
would
how
long
it
would
take.
B
Chairman
reedy
follow
up.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
and
members.
I
do
have
vast
knowledge
of
this
topic.
I'm
probably
the
only
state
lawmaker
in
the
state
of
tennessee
that
helped
pass
the
bill
with
industrial
hemp
and
grew
it
on
my
farm
and
I
went
through
the
complete
process
of
permitting
harvesting
selling
and
and
meeting
with
folks
on
there
and
it's
it's
interesting
when
we
talk
about
hemp
or
industrial
hemp,
we're
talking
about
a
plant
that
produces
0.3
percent
or
less
in
thc.
B
It
is
an
arbitrary
number
between
marijuana
and
hemp
that
point
three
percent,
that
even
when
I
started
pushing
house
bill
1164
to
pass
it
in
the
state
to
requiring
a
pilot
program
for
hemp
farmers
to
get
busy
that
you
needed
four
percent
or
more
to
get
high.
But
when
we're
talking
about
this
in
an
oil
form
non-smokeable,
I
don't
see
the
big
hiccup
in
in
even
having
a
one
percent
and,
and
my
hope,
the
last
three
years
was
trying
to
get
the
federal
government.
B
They
descheduled
him
because
it
was
not
that
above
the
0.3,
but
we
wouldn't
be
having
this
discussion
if
the
federal
government
would
have
went
ahead
three
years
ago
now
and
just
changed
it
to
a
one
percent
thc
level
and
with
that
with
the
cannabinoids
and
and
everything
the
thc
and
I'm
trying
to
decide.
If
I
really
want
to
speak
up,
tell
the
whole
story
on
the
house
floor.
B
Talking
about
those
medical
patients
who,
just
that
minor
amount
of
cbd
and
of
course,
thc
or
delta
9
is,
is
a
form
of
the
cbd
but
the
medical
research.
I
had.
I
had
medical
doctors
as
well
as
college
professors
coming
out
to
my
farm
to
discuss
what
the
difference
was
and
the
medical
necessity
of
this
plant.
But
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Thank
you,
dr
terry.
A
A
B
B
B
D
A
A
Thank
you
members.
I
want
you
to
be
aware
of
that.
Also
the
sponsor
pointed
out
early
in
his
comments
that
there,
as
you
are
well
aware,
a
number
of
states
that
have
chosen
to
ignore
the
federal
law
and
permitting
this
this
stuff
to
be
authorized
within
their
state
boundaries,
and
likewise
the
federal
government
has
not
volunteered
to
do
anything
about
it.
