HARTFORD, CT – A bill to legalize and regulate marijuana for adults was introduced by House Deputy Majority Leader Juan Candelaria (D-New Haven) to the Connecticut legislature earlier this week, joining a similar bill filled in January.
House Bill 6703 would make possession, sale, transport, growth and use of marijuana legal for adults 21 or older, “subject to certain restrictions. ”
Additional details of the bill are not yet available.
“We have done it for medicinal purposes, and we need to have a broader conversation about recreational uses,” Candelaria told the Hartford Courant.
