Legal Topics
Tennessee has limited legal allowances for non-psychoactive CBD oil to treat conditions like severe epilepsy. SB 118 expanded the list of qualifying conditions that would make patients eligible for the low-THC oil program.
You cannot possess cannabis in Tennessee. Possession of even small amounts is a criminal misdemeanor, but there are limited legal allowances for non-psychoactive CBD oil to treat recognized qualifying conditions.
Cannabis cultivation is illegal in Tennessee. Growing marijuana plants for any reason comes with felony charges in the state of Tennessee and is punishable by up to 60 years in prison or fines ranging from $5,000-$500,000.
