ALABAMA (WAFF) -The bill for legalizing medical marijuana has passed the Senate Judiciary Committee and will now go to the Senate for discussion.
The committee heard arguments for and against legalizing medical marijuana in Alabama on Wednesday.
The bill, commonly known as the Medical Marijuana Patient Safe Access Act, would allow patients with certain medical conditions to buy and grow a small amount of marijuana each month.
Some of the conditions that would allow for the use of marijuana would include AIDS, anorexia, autism, cancer, Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, chronic depression, bipolar disorder, and seizures.
