What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law designates tetrahydrocannabinols (THC) as a schedule I

controlled substance. Current law specifies that THC does not include cannabidiol

(CBD oil) in a form without a psychoactive effect that is dispensed by a pharmacy or

physician approved by the Controlled Substances Board or that is possessed by an

individual who has documentation from a physician that the CBD oil is used for the

treatment of a seizure disorder. This bill eliminates the requirement that, to be

excluded from the definition of THC, the CBD oil must be dispensed by an approved

pharmacy or physician or possessed by an individual with such documentation.
