Marijuana extract oil bills headed to Idaho Senate

BOISE (AP) - A bill that would legalize the use of marijuana extract oil for the treatment of severe forms of epilepsy is headed to the full Idaho Senate.

The Senate State Affairs Committee unanimously approved the legislation on Friday. Under the proposal, the Department of Health and Welfare would be able to issue special hemp oil registration cards to people with intractable forms of epilepsy.

A separate bill dealing with marijuana oil is also headed to the full Senate.
