A medical marijuana bill that was the main remaining vehicle for advancement of cannabis legislation in 2021 failed in a House committee this week, Nashville Post reports. The bill, which would have decriminalized possession of limited amounts of medical marijuana for certain conditions, lost on a 8-9 vote in the House Criminal Justice Committee despite support from committee chair Rep. Michael Curcio, R-Dickson, and Speaker of the House Cameron Sexton, R-Crossville. The legislation had previously passed the Senate Judiciary Committee.
