Minnesotans are one step closer toward the legalization of marijuana.
Cannabis reform legislation in the Gopher State is poised to receive its first hearing in the House Commerce Finance and Policy Committee on Wednesday, Feb.17.
House Majority Leader Ryan Winkler filed a bill earlier this month to allow adults 21 and older to buy and possess up to 1.5 ounces of cannabis, Marijuana Moment reports.
The legislation also allows the cultivation of up to eight plants (four could be mature, or have between five or seven blades per leaf).
Speaker Melissa Hortman co-sponsored the bill, which is identical to a legislation Winkler filed last year.
