Minnesota Senate and House to work out differences in marijuana bill

Now that both the Minnesota House and Senate have passed their own versions of bills legalizing recreational marijuana, a committee will meet to iron out the differences.

Its amazing how much people dont understand legal cannabis.

420. My back all ready feels better thank you.

Nicely done minnesota! Whether or not you partake in cannabis, this is a huge accomplishment.

It should be legal federally. Lets not forget that in Washington DC, where these federal laws are made, it is legal for recreational use

[susanm]

Yes, please. Minnesota needs the revenue and this makes sense on so many levels.

Marijuana has brought many people of many races together for a peaceful smoke session its something we have in common ....nothing wrong with weed

I've been a cannabis user since the age of 15, daily since 16 (I'm 30). Never went on to harder stuff or felt the compulsion to. Finished with honors from my tech high school where I studied to be a professional chef, got a 3.7 gpa on my college degree, I play several instruments, maintain a clean house and have a full-time job, take care of two cats and a vegetable garden, and have a great and loving relationship. Without cannabis my joints scream at me from 13 years in restaurants and I get so anxious I grind my teeth. The anxiety persisted throughout childhood til I found cannabis. It's medicine y'all!

Congratulations, Minnesota! 😃👍🏾 This is good news, also, for people who suffer from the all-over muscular and joint pain of fibromyalgia.

So many people are going to have better access to medicine. It is Medicinal y’all. It takes away pain, stops seizures dead in their tracks. Have you ever seen a little girl have a seizure? It’s absolutely heart breaking, I’d do anything to stop it

I'm 69 yrs. Old sitting here with tears in my eyes, for the citizens of Minnesota, of sheer joy, along with some jealousy, because I live in a backward, southern state. I was born here, by the way, so I know what I'm blah blah..Anyway, HAPPY HAPPY, JOY JOY!

To those who hate this - there is the door 🚪 leave and never come back

[gypsy]

So happy for you. Now your cops have more time to bust those thieves he mentioned and drunks with guns. Now you'll have less drunk drivers and way lower perscription drug use, abuse! Welcome to a better future where jails are filled with dangerous people and relief ffrom pain can be found without addiction and withdrawal risks!!!🎈😇🎈

Congrats, Minnesota!!! Love, from Chicagoland!!! ✌🏾

When your best argument is " well stealing is bad, so weed should be illegal" you know you're on the wrong side of the argument.

[Mechadondada]

Congratulations Minnesota! I hope my own Buckeye state politics follows your example. 🔥💨 😊

[marcnangelu]

Yay congratulations. We been legal since oct 17th 2018 bc Canada 🇨🇦 it’s great. Hope more states go green 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

[sarahd]

Awesome! Meanwhile in Louisiana, they are meeting to ban kratom this week.

[yothere]

This needs to happen across the country. Should of happen years ago

[hammyhamhamster]

Legalize cannabis federally within each and every state. This way, irrational prohibitionist politicians can't obstruct and prevent legalization against the will of the vast majority of Americans whom support full federal cannabis legalization nationwide. Treat cannabis exactly like we treat far more dangerous and deadly yet perfectly legal alcohol. Legal in all states.

Congrats Minnesota! I can only hope that TX will turn the same corner soon.
