LAWMAKERS TO HEAR FROM COMMUNITY OFFICIALS ON MARIJUANA REGS
JUNEAU, Alaska ( AP ) - Lawmakers are scheduled to hear from local
government officials on community concerns as the date for
legalization of recreational marijuana nears.
The House Community and Regional Affairs Committee will hear from
representatives of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough and Municipality of
Anchorage on marijuana regulations Tuesday.
Alaska voters decided in November to legalize possession of up to an
ounce of marijuana for adults 21 years and older. The law takes
effect Feb. 24. Another provision of the measure said individual
communities have the right to prohibit commercial activity associated
with the drug and to set their own regulations regarding consumption.
Local governing bodies in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Ketchikan, Kenai
Peninsula, Matanuska-Susitna and Sitka are considering, or have
already implemented, regulations regarding where marijuana can be
consumed and commercial activity associated with the drug.
