ND Lawmakers Introduce Marijuana Legalization Bill

(Bismarck, ND)  --  North Dakota lawmakers are considering joint bills to legalize recreational marijuana and tax it.  Representative Jason Dockter introduced a bill in the House Human Services Committee yesterday that would legalize but restrict recreational marijuana.  Representative Craig Headland introduced a bill at the same time to the House Finance and Taxation Committee that would set a tax policy for recreational marijuana.  The two lawmakers say they oppose legalization but believe it will happen and should be done in a controlled way.
