Summary
HB 1298 would move marijuana and its psychoactive component THC out of the most restrictive drug schedule and place them in Schedule III, aligning them with substances considered to have medical use. The change would also adjust DUI statutes to allow a limited defense when marijuana is used legally. The bill aims to reduce penalties and reflect evolving views on cannabis, but it did not pass.
