TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas lawmakers have heard testimony from opponents of a measure to mitigate penalties for marijuana possession, permit the use of hemp oil to treat seizures and allow industrial hemp research.

Law enforcement representatives were among several opponents Thursday testifying about a bill to allow medical hemp preparations to treat people suffering from seizures. They testified before the Senate Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee.

Ed Klumpp, a lobbyist from the Kansas Association of Chiefs of Police, said that the bill would lead to recreational marijuana use.

Many other opponents voiced concerns that the proposed measure was not broad enough.

Proponents of the bill spoke before the committee Wednesday.

Committee Chairman and Republican Sen. Greg Smith from Overland Park said that the committee would discuss the bill next week.
