Moving marijuana from schedule I to schedule III of the uniform controlled substances act.

SB 484 reclassifies marijuana and tetrahydrocannabinols (THC) from Schedule I to Schedule III under Kansas' Uniform Controlled Substances Act. This change directly affects Kansas residents who possess marijuana, altering the legal penalties for possession. Under the bill, simple possession would become a Class B nonperson misdemeanor (previously a felony for some cases), with penalties escalating based on prior convictions. The bill amends Kansas statutes K.S.A. 21-5706 and 65-4105 to reflect this reclassification and adjust corresponding penalties.
