What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill establishes a licensure program administered by the Department of Safety and Professional Services for producers of cannabidiol. Under the bill, a person may possess tetrahydrocannabinols to produce CBD oil, and may produce CBD oil and deliver it, only if the person is licensed by DSPS and only if the CBD oil is produced in a form without a psychoactive effect for the treatment of a seizure disorder.
The bill also makes certain changes to the requirements for possessing CBD oil and dispensing it to patients. Current law designates THC as a schedule I controlled substance and defines THC to exclude CBD oil in a form without a psychoactive effect that is dispensed by a pharmacy or physician approved by the Controlled Substances Board to treat a seizure disorder or that is possessed by a person with documentation from a physician that the CBD oil is to treat a seizure disorder. Under the bill, THC does not include CBD oil in a form without a psychoactive effect without regard to who dispenses it or possesses it. The bill also specifies that any person may possess CBD oil to treat a seizure disorder and that any pharmacy or physician may dispense CBD oil to treat a seizure disorder.
