> DFL’ers from the Minnesota House and Senate joined advocates today (Thu) to announce legislation to legalize adult-use cannabis in the state.
> Rep. Zach Stephenson, the bill’s House author, says it will create a “safe, well-regulated legal marketplace, including best practices for consumer protection, health, and public safety.”
> He said it also includes a “robust expungement program, so people who have disproportionately been caught in the criminal justice system due to cannabis can move on with their lives. Minnesota is ready for legalization.”
> Stephenson says current laws do more harm than good.
> “State and local governments are spending millions enforcing laws that aren’t helping anyone, money that could be put to far better purposes,” he said. “There is a better way, where we’re honest about cannabis and its impact, and model our laws accordingly.”
> The bill had its first reading today (Thu). It was referred to the Commerce Finance and Policy Committee.
