HARTFORD — A proposal to legalize recreational marijuana and reap the tax benefits will at least get a public hearing.
Whether the bill receives a vote in the House or Senate remains to be seen.
The general law committee last week voted to hold a public hearing on a weed bill and a date will be set shortly.
It’s imperative that we have robust conversations about cannabis, as more states around us consider legalization," said State Rep. Melissa Ziobron, R-East Haddam. "Let’s examine all the potential regulatory models and get the feedback from our communities we represent."
