2009 Senate Bill 616

Revise medical marijuana law

Introduced in the Senate

June 3, 2009

Introduced by Sen. Gerald Van Woerkom (R-34)

To amend Initiated Law 1 of 2008 (repeal marijuana prohibition for medical purposes) to create a system where users would have to get their marijuana from pharmacists under a prescription, and the quantity dispensed could not be more than a 60 day supply. The bill would exempt pharmacists selling medical marijuana from laws banning illegal drug sales. Because this law was adopted in a popular vote, a three-fourths vote is required for passage.

Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
