SALT LAKE CITY — Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, joined Friday's debate over medical marijuana in the Utah Legislature, telling lawmakers he is about to introduce a bill in Congress to legalize cannabidiol in states where it's approved for patient use.
In response to questions from lawmakers during his annual report to the Legislature, Chaffetz said he has no interest in seeing the legalization of medical marijuana that could end up being used recreationally.
But Chaffetz said he wants to remove federal prohibitions on the medical use of cannabidiol, a marijuana extract believed to fight seizures that is low in THC, the hallucinogenic chemical responsible for the "high” associated with marijuana.
He said his bill would apply only in states that allow the use of cannabidiol, also referred to as CBD. Currently, Chaffetz said, 15 states — including Utah — permit various uses of the product.
