Alabama Senate Passes Medical Pot Bill
A medical marijuana legalization initiative has been overwhelmingly approved by the state Senate of Alabama. That body approved Senate Bill 165, which allows for the sale and consumption of that form of the drug, albeit with significant restrictions. The bill now moves to the state's House of Representatives for a vote in that body.
The bill is quickly making its way through the Alabama legislature. It was introduced into the Senate in mid-February, somewhat surprisingly by a Republican Senator. That Senator, Tim Melson, had previously introduced proposed legislation that was very similar; although that measure passed in the Senate, it stalled in the House.
