By ANDY TSUBASA FIELDMay 7, 2021 GMT TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) The Kansas House voted for the first time Thursday to legalize medical marijuana in the state, but Republican leaders signaled the Senate wouldn’t consider the bill in the final days of the legislative session. ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT Before the House advanced the measure on a 79-42 vote, Senate President Ty Masterson’s spokesperson, Mike Pirner, told The Associated Press that a budget bill and school funding legislation have emerged as higher priorities for the Senate this week. Thirty-six states allow medical marijuana and Kansas is only one of three states that doesn’t have a comprehensive medical or recreational marijuana program or allow limited medical use of low THC cannabidiol products, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures website. Some Kansas lawmakers in favor of the bill said the state shouldn’t wait for the federal government to act.
