Minnesota's Democratic Governor, Tim Walz, today reiterated his promise to sign a marijuana legalization bill that arrived at his desk on Saturday. That will make Minnesota, which legalized medical marijuana in 2014, the 23rd state to allow recreational use.

The Minnesota House and Senate, both of which are controlled by Democrats, had previously approved slightly different legalization bills. H.F. 100, which both chambers passed last week, reconciles those differences.

Adults 21 or older will be allowed to possess two ounces or less of marijuana in public, share that amount with other adults, keep two pounds or less at home, and grow up to eight plants, four of which are mature. Those provisions take effect on August 1.

The bill also establishes an Office of Cannabis Management to license and regulate commercial production and distribution. Marijuana products will be subject to a 10% retail tax, in addition to standard state and local sales taxes (which total about 8% in Minneapolis, for example). Local governments will be allowed to regulate retailers and cap their number but will not be allowed to ban them entirely. Rep. Zack Stephenson (DFL–Coon Rapids), a co-author of the bill, said licensed sales should begin in 12 to 18 months.

Cannabis consumption initially will be limited to private residences. But the law eventually will allow marijuana use at specially licensed businesses and events.

Driving under the influence of marijuana will remain illegal. But Minnesota does not have a per se standard that makes a driver automatically guilty based on THC in his blood. Its law requires evidence of impairment.

H.F. 100 eliminates some marijuana offenses and downgrades others. It requires automatic expungement of misdemeanor marijuana possession records, a process that the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says may take until August 2024 to complete. The bill creates a review board to consider resentencing of people with marijuana felony records.

A recent SurveyUSA poll found that 64% of Minnesota voters support marijuana legalization, including 81% of Democrats and 49% of Republicans. That is similar to the national breakdown among American adults that Gallup reported last fall.

"The system that we have right now is not working," state Sen. Lindsey Port (DFL–Burnsville) said before the vote on the marijuana bill in her chamber, where she was the lead sponsor. "The best way that we can protect our kids from access to cannabis is by legalizing and regulating."

Even though all but one state bordering Idaho has some form of legalized marijuana, Idaho lawmakers are considering heightened penalties for people charged with marijuana possession. House Bill 606 would add a mandatory minimum fine of $420 for possession of less than three ounces of the plant, and a misdemeanor conviction.

Yes, that's right Idaho lawmakers want a mandatory minimum fine for marijuana possession of $420. Is that intentional?

Marijuana was the big topic at the Capitol on Thursday, with a hearing on two bills that would legalize recreational use and sales in Nebraska.

LB 22, by Sen. Justin Wayne of Omaha, would decriminalize use and possession of the drug.

LB 634, by Sen. Terrell McKinney of Omaha would allow for the sale of cannabis to anyone over 21.

“The federal government continues to cling on, as it does today, to a policy that has origins in racism, xenophobia, and whose principal effect has been to ruin the lives of many generations of people,” McKinney said.

LB 634 would also focus on helping people of color and low-income individuals, who McKinney said are disproportionately targeted for possession of marijuana by law enforcement.

Some testifiers said Nebraskans have wanted these bills for years.

“The polls show consistently, the people of the state want cannabis legal in some form,” said Spike Eickholt with the American Civil Liberties Union of Nebraska. “You may not like the forms of these bills, but ultimately, what might happen is that the voters are just going to approve something you really don’t like, and then you’re going to be stuck with it.”

One concern brought up by the opposition was how the black market contributes to marijuana sales.

“The black market is alive and well in states that have legal marijuana and in states that have illegal marijuana,” said Col. John Bolduc, the superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. “I believe one of the testifiers suggested that it’s easy to access and it’s affordable. That’s true.”

Bolduc said if the bills are passed, the black market would undercut legitimate businesses.

Lorelle Mueting of Heartland Family Service said legalization would put the safety of everyone in the state at risk.

“When people use it more, we will inevitably see more impairment problems that affect more than just the person using,” Mueting said. “Marijuana is a psychoactive substance, which means it causes a high, and when under the influence of THC, a person does not have the ability to make good decisions.”

Under the legislation, the drug would be taxed, which supporters said could bring millions in revenue to the state.

“Prohibitionists must understand that prohibition isn’t working, hasn’t worked and never will work,” Jerry Moler said.

The Judiciary Committee only heard testimony on the bills, but it could vote on them as early as next week.

I really hate whenever people paint medical marijuana patients as just people who are using their health as an excuse to get high.

Whenever I was first recommended medical marijuana, I was 20 and had been in recovery for opiates and completely clean off of anything that had not been directly prescribed to me, at that point, for 4 years and I had had a previous incident where I had recreationally smoked with friends and it went horribly wrong because it interacted badly with a medication I was prescribed at the time.

My doctors began suggesting medical marijuana as an option for my seizure disorder because I had bad side effects or bad experiences or even severe anaphylactic allergy reactions to every other medication that they had tried since I started having seizures at 11 years old, and I was actually really nervous and scared about the idea and I had to be talked into using CBD for a while first to be convinced that it would be safe for me.

I spent one entire year using CBD products before I gradually started adding in low THC products and I noticed that the higher the THC amount I had in my system, the longer I would have in between my seizures and the less my PTSD would flare up and cause panic attacks or severe flashbacks.

Shortly before I turn 21 I got a medical marijuana card for the first time and I was able to experience my first year for seizure free in an entire decade. I remember crying whenever my neurologist told me that I was allowed to get my learner's permit for the first time because my seizures were actually under control and that he considered this to be the most effective treatment that he had ever seen.

Prior to being on medical marijuana and whenever I have stopped using it, my seizures present as episodes of multiple grand mal seizures that can last hours to weeks at a time, during which I have an average of 3 to 5 grand mal seizures a day along with anywhere from 5 to 12 petite mall or staring seizures in that same day. Whenever I am able to access medical marijuana treatment, the episodes in which I have seizures are usually limited to a single 30-second seizure every 3 to 6 months.

If we're being completely honest I'm still not super fond of the fact that this is the only treatment that I have found that works because it's not super convenient for me. I have to pay for it 100% out of pocket because it's not federally legal, and it's extremely hard on my lungs as someone who has had pneumonia multiple times and suffers from lung scarring due to ground glass capacities for mold exposure and because I have Barrett's esophagus which causes me to cough up blood on a regular basis. These long issues get exacerbated whenever I smoke flower products, which I tend to use as a default despite the fact that it doesn't work as well on controlling my seizures and PTSD because it is generally the cheapest option that still gets my needs met, but it's extremely harsh on my lungs and causes me to cough up blood and Gunk a lot.

But I would rather cough up blood and Gunk on a daily basis then have my entire day in a seizure fog not knowing what's going on or how badly injured I really am until I come out of a fugue state.

Also unpopular opinion but, while I absolutely do not support people who are pregnant smoking for recreational reasons under any circumstances, I'm not afraid to admit that I made the decision during my most recent pregnancy to smoke while I was pregnant and as a result my daughter was born 100% healthy and a full 10 lb, and I only had two seizures during my entire pregnancy with her, whereas I chose not to continue using medical marijuana while I was pregnant with my 5-year-old and I had multiple seizures a day with him and was on bed rest the entire time and almost went into premature labor due to my seizures three different times, leading to an emergency C-section after 9 hours of unmedicated labor while he was stuck sideways because I had a seizure after my baby shower that induced labor. I think that if you have a medical reason to stay on a medication, and your doctors agree, it's not anyone else's business and shouldn't be stigmatized. You're not their OBGYN, fuck off it.

People might not like it but my life and my children's lives have been changed for the better by these medications and these products. I'm able to be a parent and have a functional life and work and to be able to actually be a relatively normal person compared to being stuck in a hospital bed for the majority of my life because of this medication. I frankly don't care about all the hippie bullshit of it not being a pill or being natural or whatever the fuck, what I care about is that it worked and that it's made me able to live instead of just being miserable.

I would rather have the stigma of having people think I'm a pothead and being involved in 420 culture and having people judge me that I'm a "stoner parent" for smoking on my back porch during nap time or whatever then to have 5 to 10 seizures a day that are giving me concussions and putting me on bed rest and making it wear unconstantly having broken bones and scratches and bruising and other horrible fucking injuries that make my life unlivable.

If you really think that stigmatizing a fucking plant that has been used in medicine for thousands of years is actually going to help someone like me who has had seven different doctors tell me that this is the only thing that my seizure disorder responds to, you are literally just missing the entire point.
