Hemp extract, use of, permitted when
This law allows certain people to legally have and use hemp extract — a plant-based substance — without getting in trouble under drug laws. To qualify, a person must have a special registration card from the state health department, and they can only use it to treat a serious seizure condition called intractable epilepsy. The hemp extract must come in a sealed, labeled container and be backed up by paperwork from an independent lab. A registered parent or guardian can also give it to their child who has that condition. Most people are allowed up to 20 ounces, but a doctor can request more if that amount is not enough for the patient.
