At the end of 2013, Tennessee marijuana legalization remained on the horizon. Possession of 28.5 grams or less was a misdemeanor and carried a fine between $250 and $1000 and a possible prison term up to six years. Selling any amount of cannabis is a felony, with a possible custodial sentence of up to 60 years. Cultivating the plant is also a felony for which a 60-year jail sentence and a possible fine of up to half a million bucks.
Hop over the state border to the north to Kentucky and the penalties are far lower. Possessing less than eight ounces is considered a misdemeanor and carries a fine of $250 and no custodial sentence. Trafficking or selling cannabis attracts a maximum fine of $10,000 and a prison sentence up to 20 years. Convictions for cultivation are similar to those for trafficking; maximum of ten years' imprisonment and maximum $10,000 fine.
As might be expected, the State of California is markedly more lenient. Here, possessing an ounce is virtually the same as a motoring offense with a fine of only $100. It takes a prize idiot to get caught for this. Carrying more than an ounce, use by anyone under the age of 18 or possession on school grounds is more serious and carries correspondingly higher penalties.
Hemp is a plant that is closely related to cannabis but does not have the same trippy effects. It has immense commercial potential for use as a starting material for making plastic, paper, insulation, clothing and lots of other useful products. Tennessee politicians apparently do not draw the distinction between the two plants and therefore its farmers are forbidden from growing it.
Senator Frank Niceley, of Strawberry Fields, is drafting a bill that would legalize hemp. Not only are local crop farmers behind the move, but health food enthusiasts are rooting for it, too. Hemp seeds contain abundant protein and the highly desirable omega-3 fatty acids. Ten other states, including Kentucky, are aiming to legalize hemp.
Many American states recognize the utility of certain cannabis-derived compounds in a variety of medical conditions. Tennessee is not one of these states. Widely known to be a valuable therapeutic entity in Multiple Sclerosis, Crohn's disease, depression, epilepsy, AIDS, cancer pain and other conditions, it seems the Tennessee state legislators are not checking their inboxes. Families all over the state are leaving and moving their ailing families to Colorado, where views are more enlightened.
In Colorado, braced for a wave of marijuana immigrants, has long approved the medical use of cannabis. Here, patients with written permission from their doctors are able to possess up to 2 oz of cannabis weed for medicinal purposes. They may also cultivate up to six plants.
The 1938 film, "Reefer Madness, " portrayed cannabis as a demonic danger that leads to violent behavior. We now know this is not the truth. Tennessee marijuana legalization is going to be a topic worth watching as the future unfolds.
