What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law designates tetrahydrocannabinols 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 to treat a seizure

disorder. This bill specifies that the documentation must be a certification issued by

a physician within the previous year stating why the individual possesses the CBD

oil and that the individual may possess CBD oil to treat a medical condition, not just

a seizure disorder.

Under current law, if a substance is designated, rescheduled, or deleted as a

controlled substance under federal law, the controlled substances board must

similarly treat the substance under state law within 30 days unless there is an

objection, in which case the board must follow certain other procedures before the

substance is designated, rescheduled, or deleted. This bill requires that, if CBD oil

is rescheduled or deleted as a controlled substance under federal law, the board must

similarly treat CBD oil under state law as soon as practically possible, but within 30

days, and does not allow for an objection.
