Kentucky Senate Bill 124 would exempt from the definition of "marijuana" those drugs administered in FDA-approved studies or compassionate-use programs. It also exempts cannabis oil (also known as CBD) when ordered by a physician practicing at a state research hospital. Bill sponsors Sen. Whitney Westerfield (R- Hopkinsville) and Sen. Julie Denton (R-Louisville) responded to concerns from Rep. Reginald Meeks (D-Louisville) who asked about the purity and safety of the oil. They spoke on March 19, 2014.
