Governor to sign bill to OK medical marijuana study

NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) -

A small segment of medical marijuana may soon be legal in Tennessee.

Gov. Bill Haslam can sign into law a four-year study of medical marijuana and severe epilepsy.

For the medical marijuana people, it feels like they finally have a foot in the door.

If signed, Vanderbilt University will conduct the study, and Tennessee Tech will perhaps become the first college in state history to grow marijuana.

There's a professor at UTM that in the '80s was one of seven people in he nation at that time to be licensed to grow and study marijuana.
