Senate Committee to Hear House-Approved Marijuana Decriminalization Bill
A Senate judiciary committee will hear House-approved legislation Tuesday that would decriminalize possession of up to 14 grams of marijuana. The bill by Shreveport Representative Cedric Glover cleared the House on a 68-25 vote two weeks ago.
Chairman Franklin Foil said he’s sympathetic to the legislation but wants to hear testimony from criminal justice authorities before making his decision.
“I’m very interested in what law enforcement and the prosecutors have to say on this bill and that will weigh heavily on what decision I make,” said Foil who added that while he’s not “there yet” when it comes to legalizing recreational use he does see merit in not locking people up on non-violent possession charges.
Why the Burst of Cicadas Can Harm Your Dog This Year
We have all heard about the billions of Brood X cicadas that will invade the nation in the next month or so. The thought of it doesn t bug me too much, living in the south I have become used to the thought of those loud annoying creatures. I have a cat that will be in heaven knocking them down on the back porch, if it keeps our cat Melania entertained I am perfectly fine with it.
My dog Olive and our puppy Ralphie have caught a cicada or two and up until now, I was never really worried about it. Cicadas don t bite, they don t sting, so why should we be on high alert? In short, your dog can eat too many which may be very harmful to them.
