What it does
- Creates a new law allowing the supervised medical use of cannabidiol (CBD).
- Requires people to register with the Wyoming Department of Health to use CBD legally.
- Exempts registered users from criminal and civil penalties for possessing or using CBD if they follow a prescribing physician's direction and have a registration card.
- Requires a prescribing physician to sign a statement that the patient may benefit from CBD treatment.
- Allows the Department of Health to charge a fee to cover the costs of maintaining and administering the registration registry.
Who it affects
- Adults in Wyoming who are at least 18 years old and want to use CBD for medical reasons.
- Parents or legal guardians of minors who want to use CBD for their children.
- Prescribing physicians who are licensed and certified in specific fields such as neurology, psychiatry, or oncology.
- The Wyoming Department of Health, which would manage the registration process and maintain the registry.
Limits and unknowns
- The bill did not pass in the 2016 session, so these rules were not put into effect.
- The bill does not specify the exact amount of the registration fee, only that it should approximate the costs of maintaining the registry.
- The bill does not specify the exact amount of CBD a person can possess, only that it must be used under a physician's direction and contain no THC.
