ST. PAUL, Minn. โ A bill legalizing recreational cannabis is getting closer to a vote in the Minnesota House.
Republican Rep. Ron Kresha of Little Falls said he canโt support legal marijuana.
โThereโs a moral and ethical aversion, and thatโs okay. Some people are still morally opposed to this. Iโm one of them,โ Kresha said.
Democratic Rep. Zack Stephenson of Coon Rapids said prohibition is not working.
โIt is not difficult, if you are a young person in Minnesota who wants to consume cannabis, to get cannabis,โ Stephenson said. โSo, if your goal is to keep cannabis away from young people, the current system is failing.
The bill will be heard in 14 House committees, and has passed nine so far this session.
