Senate Introduces Medical Marijuana Study Bill


Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, on Monday introduced a bill to the U.S. Senate that is supposed to make it easier to perform clinical studies to determine the medical uses of marijuana.

Hatch is co-sponsoring the Marijuana Effective Drug Studies (MEDS) Act of 2016 with Sens. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii; Thom Tillis, R-N.C.; and Chris Coons, D-Del.
