Meet With A Medical Marijuana Doctor in Tennessee

While Tennessee does not have a proper medical marijuana program, the state does allow low-THC cannabis oil. This oil may not exceed a concentration of 9% THC.

Tennessee’s limited medical cannabis program only allows state residents who have an uncontrolled seizure disorder, including epilepsy, are registered in an authorized clinical research study, or are under the care of a certified medical doctor, or hospital. If a patient meets all qualifications, they are prescribed cannabis oil types containing no more than 9% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

A state-registered patient can only possess as much low-level THC oil as prescribed to them by a certified neurologist. Having any other form of cannabis is illegal and will result in criminal charges against the patient. There is no cultivation in Tennessee. Any patient found growing or manufacturing any cannabis will be found guilty of a criminal offense.

While many states are voting on cannabis legislation in the November 2024 election, medical marijuana will most likely not be on the ballot in Tennessee. Though a bill was introduced in February 2024, it did not pass the Senate judiciary committee. However, previous polling data from MTSU shows more than 80% of Tennesseans support cannabis legalization in some capacity. If a bill were to be made on the ballot for Tennessee residents’ vote, it would likely be supported.
