As Gov. Bobby Jindal is preparing to sign bills loosening regulations on marijuana in Louisiana, he said he would be willing to take a look at marijuana restrictions on the federal level if he became president.
Jindal sat for an interview with The Des Moines Register on Monday. He was in Iowa to speak at a forum on national security and other issues in Cedar Falls earlier in the day. He has said he’ll make an announcement June 24 on whether he will pursue the Republican nomination for president.
One Louisiana bill Jindal is planning to sign includes reducing penalties for marijuana possession. The other would allow doctors to sell medical marijuana in a non-smokable form that would be sold at limited pharmacies in the state.
