RICHMOND, Va. (WHSV) — A bill proposed by a local delegate to let doctors prescribe a marijuana derivative for treatment of more medical conditions is receiving full support in the General Assembly so far.
Valley delegate Ben Cline brought bill HB 1251 to the House of Delegates in Richmond, which would allow doctors to prescribe non-hallucinogenic THC-A and cannabidiol (CBD) oil for any diagnosed condition or disease the doctor believes it could help.
It was approved by Subcommittee #1 and by the Committee for Courts of Justice unanimously.
Just yesterday, Virginia Senate Republicans voted to kill a bill that would have decriminalized possession of marijuana.
