MN Lawmakers: Legalize Pot For Recreational Use -Full News Conference

Minnesota has legalized some forms of medical marijuana. But now there’s a move to legalize it for recreational use as well. Several DFL lawmakers are proposing a law to do that. They’re also proposing a state constitutional amendment to make pot legal. Speakers include Bill authors Rep. Jason Metsa (DFL – Virginia) and Rep. Tina Liebling (DFL – Rochester) .

The bill is opposed by at least one key Republican— the GOP controls the legislature — and Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton opposes it.

If the legislature passes the constitutional amendment, it will go directly to the voters with or without Dayton’s signature.

Applebaum says realizes the bill isn’t likely to pass this session, but says it is a conversation starter about something that eventually has to change.

  3. who’s the jackass that tries to Jeb Bush them by asking if they have ever spoked marijuana

  4. Its already available in every state no matter what its legal status is. Legalization will make the product itself and its trade much safer for everyone.

  5. this is kind of a no brainer. the amount of money for greedy government to score. a score for smokers. a score for medical use.

  6. Or just keep illegal so the state can make money jailing people. ummm do jails make money?

  7. The bill, from what I gather, is very restrictive on personal growing compared to other states-.

    Why is MN not standing up to be a progressive leader, rather than continuing to be a cowardly follower? The medical bill is one of the worst in the country! Upon first inspection, the recreational bill seems just as pussy-footed.

  9. Everyone in the world has tried cannabis in life, some people use it for medical health, majority of citizen’s might not use it and the other half may like but it could be treated like a liquior store you show up to the liquior store if you wanna get drunk but I am forsure drug trades would go down.

  10. lets be honest Minnesota, if we don’t legalize it we will never ever get vacationers. the amount of money our state would receive would be insane. we could build ten of those stupid looking stadiums. the only people against this are old white people who grew up hearing “marijuana kills” . still to this day not 1 death has been cause by cannabis

  11. Honestly…I’m a medical patient, and the medical marijuana is nothing short of highway robbery by a govt sanctioned Corp that charge me $500+ a month for their medicine, but to make my own I estimate it to be $150 a month. Time needs to change, we need compassionate Care for our fellow man. We need to inform people about it and promote it’s legalization. I don’t care if I make minimum wage, their is nothing I want more than to bring medicine to MN sick, and responsible recreational users.

  12. I would like to say in marajuanas defense that when i had majorly damaged my eye and i tried everything to fix it orange juice visine nothing worked 30 days passed finally i decided to smoke some weed a friend had my eye turned from red to white within 24 hours.
