SB158, the bill to legalize medical marijuana, passed the House yesterday 79-42. It will now go to the Senate where it is unlikely to get any action this year. The Senate leadership has publicly stated they will not take it up. Let’s hope they stick to that, because the only thing they could do this year in the time left is to simply concur with the House amendments, and there are still things that would need to be fixed in this bill if it is to become law.
