Medical Marijuana Update

The medical marijuana movement loses a founding father, and the only other action this past week was a pair of CBD bills.

Last Saturday, Dennis Peron, “the Father of Medical Marijuana,” died at age 72. A key player in California’s groundbreaking embrace of medical marijuana has died. Dennis Peron, an AIDS activist whose partner, Jonathan West, died of the disease in 1990, argued for the benefits of medical marijuana for AIDS patients, opened the nation’s first dispensary in San Francisco, and was a driving force behind the city’s 1992 ordinance allowing medical marijuana. That was the first step toward the state’s historic passage of Prop 215 four years later. Peron was 72. He died of lung cancer at a San Francisco hospital.
Idaho
Last Thursday, a CBD bill was filed in the House. Conservative Republican state Rep. Dorothy Moon has filed a bill that would allow the CBD cannabis oil for medicinal purposes. House Bill 410 would limit cannabis oils to less than 0.3% THC. It is now before the House Health and Welfare Committee.
Indiana
On Tuesday, the House approved a CBD bill. The House voted 93-0 Tuesday to approve House Bill 1214, which would allow anyone to buy and use CBD cannabis oil, provided it contains less than 0.3% THC. The bill also gets around federal controlled substance prohibitions by designating CBD oil as an exempt hemp product. The bill now goes to the Senate.
