LC 3814 - Generally Revise Medical Marijuana Purchase Limits

Overview

Bill Number: LC 3814
Title: Generally Revise Medical Marijuana Purchase Limits
Status: (LC) Draft Ready for Delivery
Introduced: December 14, 2024

Purpose and Intent

The purpose of this bill is to revise the current limits on the amount of medical marijuana that patients can purchase in a given time period. The intent is to provide more flexibility and access for qualified medical marijuana patients while still maintaining reasonable controls.

Key Provisions

  • Increases the daily purchase limit for medical marijuana from 1 ounce to 1.5 ounces
  • Raises the monthly purchase limit from 4 ounces to 6 ounces
  • Allows medical marijuana dispensaries to sell up to 3 ounces of marijuana per transaction, up from the current 1 ounce limit
  • Requires the Department of Public Health and Human Services to review and adjust purchase limits every 2 years based on patient needs and public health considerations

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Qualified medical marijuana patients will be able to purchase and possess larger quantities of medical marijuana to meet their treatment needs
  • Medical marijuana dispensaries will be able to sell higher quantities per transaction, potentially improving convenience and access for patients
  • The Department of Public Health and Human Services will be responsible for monitoring the impacts of the increased purchase limits and making adjustments as necessary

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

This bill is currently in draft form (LC 3814) and has not yet been formally introduced in the state legislature. Once introduced, it will go through the normal legislative process, including committee hearings, floor votes in both chambers, and potential amendments before reaching the governor's desk for signature or veto. If passed, the revised purchase limits would likely take effect 90 days after the end of the legislative session.
