Bill Passed Senate Last Session But Failed In House
ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Will a medical marijuana bill pass the Maryland General Assembly this year?
Sen. David Brinkley said that if re-elected, he plans to introduce a bill that would legalize the use of marijuana for medical purposes.
A similar bill passed the Senate during the last session, but the House version failed.
The Republican whose district includes parts of Carroll and Frederick counties said the bill would license producers, distributors and users. He said that would provide an alternative to buying marijuana on the black market.
Del. Dan Morhaim, who co-sponsored the House bill last year, said current law already acknowledges that some people use marijuana for medical purposes.
The Baltimore County Democrat said by keeping that law in place, the state puts people at risk of being criminals.
