Bill to allow medical marijuana in Alabama advances

A bill that would make Alabama the 37th state to allow medical use of products made from marijuana cleared one hurdle today today at the Alabama State House.

The House Judiciary Committee approved the bill Sen. Tim Melson, a Republican from Florence.

The approval came on a voice vote after the committee waded through about 15 amendments, adopting some. There were some no votes, but there is no recorded vote on a voice vote.

Committee moves the bill a step closer to becoming law, although more votes are ahead. The bill next goes to the House Health committee. If approved there, it could come to a vote on the House floor for the first time.
