HELENA, Mont. (AP) – Lawmakers are meeting to make final recommendations on a slate of proposals aimed at cracking down on medical marijuana.
An interim legislative committee meeting Monday will be sending the draft laws to the full Legislature for consideration in early 2011.
Through the end of July, about 23,500 Montanans had medical marijuana cards. The big increase has prompted concern in many communities around the state.
The proposals would make it more difficult to get a medical marijuana card, clarify the list of eligible diseases, and in some cases require approval from at least two doctors.
The long list of new rules also includes a ban on driving under the influence of medical marijuana and puts the licensing of growers and sellers under the Department of Revenue.
