Minnesota House Vote Set For Marijuana Legalization

(St. Paul, MN) — The Minnesota Legislature is one step closer passing a measure to legalize marijuana in the state. A House vote is anticipated to legalize the purchase of marijuana by those who are at least 21-years-old. The bill would set up an Office of Cannabis Management, apply sales tax to purchases, and require sellers to be licensed. Opponents say the bill doesn’t go far enough to address concerns about detrimental effects of legalization.
