Nikiya Carrero, writing for KXNet.com about North Dakota’s House greenlighting legal cannabis:
North Dakota Representatives gave the green light to recreational marijuana.
The House voted Tuesday morning to legalize marijuana for recreational use for adults 21 years or older.
This bill would also allow people to be able to possess up to “twenty-one grams of adult-use cannabis” every two weeks. It would not allow North Dakotans to grow their own cannabis. […]
The bill ultimately passed 56 to 38.
To become law, it needs to also get the approval of the Senate and a signature from the governor.
Meanwhile, WTVM reported on the passing of a medical marijuana bill in Alabama’s Senate:
The Alabama Senate has again voted to pass a medical marijuana bill, this time by a vote of 21 to 10.
The pending legislation would allow patients to legally use the drug if they’ve been diagnosed with one of about 20 medical conditions including cancer, chronic pain, and anxiety. […]
The legislation now moves to the House for consideration where supporters are more likely to face some heavy challenges.
