Lawmakers weigh medical marijuana expansion, tax

Lawmakers weigh medical marijuana expansion, tax A House Republican leader’s bid to expand Louisiana’s medical marijuana program and allow smokable cannabis started to gain traction Thursday, as lawmakers advanced a bill that would tax the new therapeutic products. Louisiana’s dispensaries sell medical marijuana in liquids, topical applications, inhalers and edible gummies. Houma Rep. Tanner Magee, the House’s second-ranking Republican, is proposing to authorize sales of raw, smokable marijuana for medical use and to apply state sales tax to those products if lawmakers allow them. The House Ways and Means Committee agreed without objection Thursday to the bill applying the state’s 4.45% sales tax rate and dedicating the money generated to transportation projects. Lawmakers advanced the proposal to the full House for debate, even as some expressed concern about levying a tax on medicine, which is not done on any prescription drugs in Louisiana.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) Republican state lawmakers trying to muscle through a wide-ranging rewrite of Louisiana’s tax laws Wednesday ran into the same problem that has bedeviled previous legislative efforts, opposition from special interest groups trying to protect tax breaks given to industry. The House Ways and Means Committee, which handles tax measures, delayed votes on two bills aimed at paring back the myriad of tax breaks that Louisiana has on the books. Neither one had an analysis yet from the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Office of how much money would be saved from cutting the tax breaks.
