Lawmakers on Monday approved Sen. Positive T.A. Nelson’s measure to legalize and regulate medicinal cannabis for adult use in the territory, taking another step toward a territory that allows cultivation, processing and dispensing of medicinal marijuana products.
“I’m very happy that most of my colleagues gave this thing a reasonable and mature discussion,” Nelson told the Source after the hearing. “I can tell that the time that has passed have allowed for people’s perspectives to be clear and understanding what it is we’re attempting to do. I look forward to us continuing moving toward this legalization matter, particularly for medicinal, for now.”
