[ad_1] South Carolina’s Senate gave initial approval to a medical marijuana legalization bill on Tuesday—setting it up for a final vote to send the measure to the House of Representatives, which is expected soon. The vote on second reading passage was 26-17 and came days after senators began debate on the legislation from Sen. Tom Davis (R), which if enacted will allow medical cannabis access for patients with certain health conditions. It’s a renewed push by lawmakers after the body passed an earlier version of the legislation in 2022 that went on to stall in the House over a procedural…

[ad_1] An Indiana House committee has approved a Republican-led bill that would fund clinical research trials into psilocybin that has already cleared the full Senate. After adopting one amendment, the House Public Health Committee advanced the legislation in a 12-1 vote on Tuesday. “This is not fringe science at this point, so my original intent was to elevate this potential,” Sen. Ed Charbonneau (R), the bill’s sponsor, told panel members ahead of the vote. “It creates hope for people that currently are in hopeless situations.” “I think it’s important that we get clear right up front that this bill does…

[ad_1] Vice President Kamala Harris cited the Biden administration’s moves toward reforming federal marijuana laws in a new video appealing to young voters—though her specific claim that policies have already been “changed” is premature. Meanwhile, the video also features a map that purports to highlight states that have legalized cannabis but that contains misinformation about which jurisdictions have actually ended criminalization. “We changed federal marijuana policy, because nobody should have to go to jail just for smoking weed,” Harris says in the video, posted to X on Friday. While President Joe Biden has issued mass pardons for people who have…

[ad_1] South Carolina’s Senate continued its discussion of a medical marijuana legalization bill on Thursday, with lawmakers clashing over whether the current version of the legislation contains major differences from an earlier iteration that the body passed in 2022 but which later stalled in the House over a procedural hiccup. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Tom Davis (R), would allow medical cannabis access for patients with certain health conditions. Sen. Greg Hembree (R), who opposes the reform, held the floor for over an hour and half, arguing that the legislation contains more than 40 substantive changes from the earlier version…

[ad_1] The Indiana Senate on Tuesday overwhelmingly passed a Republican-led bill that would fund clinical research trials into psilocybin. The top Democratic senator filed an amendment that would have added language to the legislation to create a medical cannabis program in the state, though he did not force a vote on it. The Senate advanced the psychedelics measure to the House in a 47-1 vote. The action follows the proposal being passed unanimously by the Senate Appropriations Committee last week and the Health and Provider Services Committee last month. “This bill provides hope to many individuals that are today in a…
