Sounds like at least a start of the process, finally. It’s also good to see a Republican senator take the lead. Now the remaining debates and negotiations should include actual folks that use marijuana and not just cannabis inexperienced law makers, law enforcement, and medical folks.
Hopefully the legislature and medical professionals have realized that hardly anyone acts like the 1970’s stoners portrayed in the movies, those days have long passed and the majority of current marijuana users act responsibly and no one has said ‘yeah man I’m stoned’ in decades. Let’s move on and legalize it, regulate it, tax it, and get over it!
You don’t tax medical supplies or drugs, so there is no tax incentive.
