The Nevada State Legislature is considering a series of bills on recreational marijuana use, which could make it easier for people to legally consume the product.
Alabama has legalized medical marijuana.
The state’s Senate approved the bill, sponsored by Sen. Tim Melson, in a 21-8 vote on Wednesday.
The bill was approved by the state’s Senate committee earlier this month and sent to the full floor for review.
The legislation allows people with qualifying conditions to utilize cannabis for therapeutic reasons.
Upon establishing Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission, which will count 11 members, patients will be free to qualify for the program. In addition, the regulatory body will oversee licensing.
Patients suffering from anxiety, sleep disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and a dozen more conditions will be eligible to enter the program.
