Minnesota Cannabis Legalization Bill

On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary and Public Safety Committee in Minnesota held a first hearing on a bill to legalize marijuana, reported Marijuana Moment.

The prohibition of cannabis is a failed system that has not achieved the desired goals and has had incredible costs for our communities, especially for communities of color," said stateSen. Lindsey Port (D), who sponsored the bill stated.

On Tuesday, the House Environment and Natural Resources Finance and Policy Committee passed another bill from Rep. Zack Stephenson (D) to legalize marijuana in the state, reported Marijuana Moment.

As Ive said in other committees, Minnesotans are ready. This is the year that we should legalize adult-use cannabis in the state of Minnesota, Stephenson said. Minnesotans deserve the freedom and respect to make their own decisions about cannabis, and we also need to recognize that our current laws are doing more harm than good.
