April 9, 2015

A Republican-backed effort to legalize marijuana for limited medicinal purposes in Tennessee is officially dead for the year.

The Senate Health and Welfare Committee decided to delay action on the proposal from Nashville GOP Sen. Steve Dickerson until 2016.

The House Health Committee made the same decision on the House version of the bill, sponsored by Rep. Ryan Williams, R-Cookeville.

Senate committee Chairman Rusty Crowe said there wasn't enough time to fully discuss the pros and cons of the bill.
