Breaking News: Connecticut Legislators Pass Medical Marijuana Bill with Governor Expected To Sign
Lawmakers in Connecticut have passed a bill that would legalize medical marijuana. The news was expected but advocates and patients were still waiting anxiously. The bill passed by a 21-13 vote. The bill now awaits the approval of Governor Dannel P. Malloy, who expected to sign the bill into law. If this happens Connecticut will join 16 other states and Washington D.C. where marijuana is permitted for medical purposes. The bill took extra precautions to avoid federal interference as lawmakers have grown concerned with raids conducted in California. Marijuana.net will be reporting on this story again in further detail once Governor Malloy makes his decision.
