State House Bill Would Legalize Growth And Sale Of Marijuana

A bill has been referred to the State Legislature's Joint Committee on the Judiciary that would make it legal for adults for grow marijuana and license stores that would then be able to sell it.

The Marijuana Policy Project is advocating for the passage of Bill H.1561 which is also known as An Act to regulate and tax the cannabis industry.

The group's Communications Manager, Morgan Fox, told WBSM's Brian Thomas he is optimistic given the broad support the bill has in the legislature.

Fox says if the bill does not pass they will work with various groups in the commonwealth to make the issue a ballot question for the 2016 Elections.
