Bills Introduced To Legalize Recreational, Medical Cannabis In Tennessee
Jeff Yarbro (D-Nashville) introduced SB 0809 on Tuesday
Tennessee lawmakers are making another push to legalize recreational and medical cannabis in the Volunteer State.
On Tuesday, Sen. Jeff Yarbro (D-Nashville) introduced SB 0809, which is the Tennessee Cannabis Act. The act is an amendment to allow for personal or recreational marijuana use while creating rules for dispensaries to produce, distribute and sell cannabis products.
The act allows an adult (someone 21 years of age or older) to personally use, possess and transport marijuana, but no more than 60 grams of it. It would also allow for the personal cultivation of no more than 12 marijuana plants in an adult’s home, as long as they’re in a secure area.
Marijuana would also be permitted to grow and sell cannabis products in Tennessee. You can read the Tennessee Cannabis Act by clicking here for a look at the full rules and proposed changes to current law.
