The upper chamber voted 26-5 to support limited legalization of what&#8217;s also known as CBD oil. It&#8217;s an extract from the marijuana plant that doesn&#8217;t produce the high associated with other parts. The oil is used to help control seizures associated with intractable epilepsy, which advocates say affects about 150,000 Texans. Eltife&#8217;s measure now heads to the House. A companion House bill has cleared committee, making it potentially eligible for a lower chamber floor vote. Texas hasn&#8217;t legalized marijuana in any form, even for medical reasons.
