Yea Or Nay On Legal Weed? Bill Advances In Minnesota House
I m am continuously puzzled and a bit frustrated as to why in the year 2021 that there is even an issue with legalizing recreational marijuana. It s a plant, for cripes sake, why the holdup? Perhaps it s a fear that someone might get high and write a poem or order a pizza or something anti social like that.

Perhaps it s all the overdoses and deaths caused by this plant. Oh, yeah, that s right, there are none. Zero!
The good news is that the bill to legalize recreational marijuana has advanced on the floor of the Minnesota House of Representatives. This is the farthest this matter has made it in the State Legislature.
