MEDICAL MARIJUANA FACING STRICTER REGULATIONS

State senators met Tuesday to consider a bill that would task the liquor board with licensing and regulating medical cannabis dispensaries, processors and growers.

The bill also authorizes a 20 percent excise tax on the wholesale sale of medical marijuana or a 10 percent tax on the retail sale of medical marijuana if the grower is also the processor or dispenser.
