The trend of new states adopting regulated cannabis laws is expected to continue, driven by increasing public support for legalization and the potential economic benefits of a legal cannabis market.

A GOP lawmaker in Idaho has introduced a bill that would legalize medical cannabis in the state, but with significant restrictions.

Under the proposed legislation, only a limited number of medical conditions would qualify for medical cannabis treatment, and patients would need to obtain a recommendation from a specialized physician.

Additionally, the bill would prohibit smoking or vaping of medical cannabis and would only allow the use of oils, tinctures, and other non-inhalable forms of the drug.

While the bill represents a significant step forward for medical cannabis in Idaho, it is likely to face opposition from some conservative lawmakers who remain opposed to any form of cannabis legalization.
