MEDICAL MARIJUANA FACING STRICTER REGULATIONS
Medical marijuana advocates are divided on a bill that would give the
state Liquor Control Board regulatory control over medical marijuana
similar to that it has over recreational pot.
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.
