Louisiana senators revived a proposal to allow medical cannabis patients to use inhalers, only two days after rejecting the idea.

The measure, if enacted into law, could spark additional MMJ sales in Louisiana.

The state Senate on Monday passed a reworked bill with a 31-7 vote, sending it back to the House, which had overwhelmingly approved an earlier version.

The measure would allow MMJ patients to use a metered-dosage device, similar to what asthma patients use, but would continue to ban vaping.
