Nashville Medical marijuana will again be a topic of discussion in the Tennessee state legislature as Rep. Jeremy Faison (R-Cosby) plans to introduce a bill during the next legislative session.
Faisons office said Friday a formal announcement about the bill proposal would come next Wednesday. Specifics about the bill will be discussed at that time.
Faison represents Cocke and part of Jefferson and Greene counties. He said in October he planned to introduce a medical marijuana bill after meeting with several families who moved from Tennessee to Colorado to get treatment they cant get here.
A bill sponsored by Faison to decriminalize the use of cannabis oil to treat seizures passed overwhelmingly in 2015.
