Members of the Senate committee that attended the public hearing on the proposed cannabis legalization and regulation bill last Monday were surprised at the public support shown for the bill, with one believing it to be the "most attended public hearing" in his tenure at the Senate.
It was the second public hearing on Sen. Sixto Igisomar's (R-Saipan) Senate Bill 20-62 SD1 and was held at the Pedro P. Tenorio Multi-Purpose Center.
