A bill that would have legalized medical marijuana in Tennessee has failed in the state Senate, WJHL reports. Though the bill was recommended for passage by the Senate Government Operations Committee, the Senate Judiciary Committee chose not to move forward with SB854 after some lawmakers expressed concerns about its constitutionality. Another medical marijuana bill is still active. SB667 would direct the Tennessee Department of Health to study medical marijuana licensing and regulations in neighboring states.
