North Dakota Senate ashes out recreational marijuana bill
Dylan Sherman
BISMARCK The North Dakota Senate has overwhelmingly voted against House Bill 1420, which would have legalized recreational marijuana in North Dakota.
Vocal opposition to the bill and against marijuana in general preceded the 37-10 rejection on March 25. Sen. Diane Larson, R-Bismarck, said she has seen negative effects on the brain from marijuana use and believes it is wrong for North Dakota.
“It s a wrong thing to pass something that we don’t like, just so that we don’t get something we don’t hate,” she said, reflecting the general expectation that no legislative provision for recreational marijuana likely would invite a new initiated measure that could open the door to marijuana even wider.
