Tina Smith on her marijuana legislation (KDAL Morning Show)
WASHINGTON, D.C. (KDAL) – U-S Senator Tina Smith has introduced legislation to legalize marijuana at the federal level and also addresses health and safety considerations.
On the KDAL Morning Show Wednesday, Senator Smith says the bill would remove marijuana from the nation’s list of illegal controlled substances and ensure the same federal oversight of marijuana products as tobacco and alcohol products have now.
The bill would establish a minimum age of 21 for purchasing cannabis products and promote the safety and quality control of cannabis crops.
According to a 2019 Pew Research Center poll, two-thirds of Americans support the legalization of marijuana for recreational and medicinal use.
42 states and the District of Columbia allow some type of marijuana use despite federal prohibition.
