NASHVILLE (WKRN) - One state lawmaker said it's time to legalize recreational marijuana in Tennessee.
Recreational, let alone medical marijuana, are not yet legal in Tennessee.
Sen. Sara Kyle (D-District 30) of Memphis said now is the time for change.
She's sponsoring a bill to legalize recreational marijuana.
"My whole point of bringing a bill to have marijuana available just like any alcohol is available is to have the discussion," said Kyle.
Kyle said the change is necessary for criminal justice reform.
