A bill to allow people with seizure disorders or other debilitating medical conditions to use a product that comes from the same plant as marijuana was passed by the Alabama Legislature on Wednesday.
The state Senate approved the bill, called Leni's Law, by a 29-3 vote. The House later voted 95-4 to concur with the bill and send it to Gov. Robert Bentley, who could sign it into law.
