ALASKA LAWMAKERS HEAR PUBLIC OPPOSITION TO NEW MARIJUANA BILL
JUNEAU, Alaska ( AP ) - The Senate Finance Committee has heard strong
opposition to the latest version of a bill that would change criminal
statutes related to marijuana.
Senate Finance took public testimony on the bill on Wednesday.
The bill is intended to change criminal statutes related to
marijuana, and was first introduced in Senate Judiciary. The Senate
Finance version makes marijuana a controlled substance with a
"non-applicability" clause that legalizes certain activities.
Members of the public told the committee that when they voted for
legalization of recreational marijuana in November, they expected the
substance would no longer be on Alaska's controlled substance list.
Several people also opposed a provision that would limit daily sales
of marijuana concentrates, citing concern over a database to track purchases.
Another hearing on the bill is planned for Thursday.
