Whether the MORE Act passes the Senate remains uncertain, but some cannabis legislation is finding success.
On Tuesday night, the Senate passed the Cannabidiol and Marihuana Research Expansion Act. The move follows the House s passage of the bill last week.
The Significance Of The Bill
The bill would address several areas of research and development if enacted into law, according to Marijuana Moment. It also intends to revise the research application process for studies centered on cannabis.
Other critical parameters in the legislation would allow physicians to discuss marijuana risks and benefits with patients.
Additionally, the bill would also encourage the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to develop medicines derived from cannabis while requiring the department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to file a report detailing the potential benefits of cannabis use.
