Kansas lawmakers advance medical marijuana bill

Medical Marijuana

Kansas lawmakers have advanced the proposal after weeks of deliberations. Some say they have been motivated by conservative neighbors Missouri and Oklahoma legalizing the medical use of marijuana in 2018 through ballot initiatives. Others say many of their constituents support it.

The state House Federal and State Affairs Committee on Monday approved the bill 13-8, sending it to the full House for approval. The measure has received pushback from law enforcement groups that say that there's not enough evidence that marijuana can treat medical conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder and Parkinson's disease.
