Every state has different marijuana laws- they are regulated by state, not federal law. Some states allow marijuana for recreational and medical use, some states only allow medical use, and some only allow certain low THC products for medical use. Most states limit the number of licenses they will grant and the window to apply for them. Getting licenced is never simple- there are very specific requirements and guidelines that differ by state and its usually highly competitive, which is why most successful applicants work with consultants like Dispensary Permits to help guide them. We highly advise you read the guidelines below thoroughly and then consider working with a consultant or using our templates and guides.

The History of Tennessee Marijuana

Senate Bill 2531, a limited medical marijuana bill, was signed into law on May of 2014, that authorized the use of cannabidiol (also referred to as CBD), as part of a clinical research study on its effects on seizure conditions. The law limits the cannabis oil to less than 0.9% of THC, the most common active ingredient typically found in medical marijuana. SB 280 was signed into law in May 2015 to improve on the already existing limited medical marijuana law but still fails to provide patients safe access to cannabis oil.

Qualifying Medical Conditions: Patients with some type of seizure condition

Update: On January 18, 2018, two Republicans introduced a bill that would legalize the use of medical marijuana for qualified patients in Tennessee. The legislation, introduced by Rep. Jeremy Faison and Sen. Steve Dickerson, would allow oil-based manufactured products, such as pills or lotions, and would not permit the sale of marijuana flower and edibles. It would also allow local governments to decide whether or not they want to allow dispensaries in their city/county.
