What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a controlled substance is classified in one of five separate schedules. The classification is based on: 1) whether there is a currently accepted medical use for the drug; 2) the drug's potential for being abused; and 3) the nature of the dependence that use of the drug may produce. A Schedule I controlled substance, such as a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), may not be dispensed, even with a prescription. This bill specifically provides that THC does not include cannabidiol (commonly known as CBD oil extract) in a form without a psychoactive effect if dispensed or documented by a practitioner. This bill also specifically allows CBD oil extract to be dispensed by a practitioner for the treatment of a seizure disorder and allows a practitioner to provide an individual with a letter or other documentation stating that the individual possesses CBD oil extract to treat a seizure disorder.
