AB726,1,3 1An Act to amend 961.14 (4) (t); and to create 961.38 (1n) of the statutes;
2relating to: providing that cannabidiol is not a tetrahydrocannabinol and
3dispensing cannabidiol as a treatment for a seizure disorder.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a controlled substance is classified in one of five separate
schedules. The classification is based on: 1) whether there is a currently accepted
medical use for the drug; 2) the drug's potential for being abused; and 3) the nature
of the dependence that use of the drug may produce. A Schedule I controlled
substance, such as a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), may not be dispensed, even with
a prescription. This bill specifically provides that THC does not include cannabidiol
(commonly known as CBD oil extract) in a form without a psychoactive effect if
dispensed or documented by a practitioner. This bill also specifically allows CBD oil
extract to be dispensed by a practitioner for the treatment of a seizure disorder and
allows a practitioner to provide an individual with a letter or other documentation
stating that the individual possesses CBD oil extract to treat a seizure disorder.
