Local lawmaker weighs in on proposed recreational marijuana legalization bill

Connecticut lawmakers are again considering bills about recreational marijuana legalization. Bethel Representative Raghib Allie-Brennan recently  hosted a Community Conversation about the idea and said the greatest concern was about enforcing driving under the influence laws given the lack of specific tests for marijuana impairment.  Allie-Brennan says this year's proposal includes increased support for additional drug recognition experts in the State and training for public safety professionals to better recognize drivers impaired by any substance, including cannabis and prescription drugs.
