Idaho Senate Committee Introduces Bill Allowing Cannabis Oil Medication


Noelle New Headshot Fmt Headshot

Editor's Note: If this seems like a baby step for medical marijuana advocates, it is. CBD oil legalization is a positive move, no doubt whatsoever, but it is a long way from what medical marijuana programs in many other states allow for, and what many patients seek. And while most would agree that medical marijuana has little to do with recreational marijuana, the latter isn't likely to make its way into Idaho any time soon: According to a recent poll, nearly two-thirds of residents say they either strongly oppose or somewhat oppose marijuana legalization.


The Idaho Senate State Affairs Committee [last week] approved the introduction of a bill to relax Idaho's marijuana prohibition, allowing for the use of some cannabis oils in the treatment of illnesses like epilepsy.

Sponsored by Boise Republican Sen. Curt McKenzie, the measure would amend current Idaho statute strictly forbidding any form of marijuana to "clarify that cannabidiol oil is not under the definition of 'marijuana' for purposes of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act," according to the Senate calendar description.

Easing restrictions on cannabidiol would mean access to treatments currently illegal in Idaho but allowed in 11 other states.
