Still some legislative members were critical of the bill for "over-reaching" because glaucoma was added to the list of allowed ailments, comprised of 17, said the Connecticut Post.

The bill would only allow use of liquid cannabis after two physicians approve the use, according to the report.

It must next meet with House of Representatives approval, said the Connecticut Post.
