Local lawmaker testifies on bill about recreational marijuana legalization

The Legislature is again considering a bill to legalize cannabis for adult, recreational use. Bethel State Representative Raghib Allie-Brennan submitted written testimony to the Judiciary Committee.  During the public hearing this week, he yielded his time to Michael Cutler who co-authored the cannabis legalization initiative in Massachusetts.  Allie-Brennan says it's important to learn of the successes and setbacks from implementation in other states. While saying he's not encouraging the use of cannabis, Allie-Brennan says he does believe it's time to replace unregulated cannabis with a system to give municipalities control of adult-use businesses within their borders, provide protections for employers and employees, and expunge the records of people convicted for cannabis offenses.
