Yea it's probably gonna pass the house. As usual, leave it to LA to worry about all the things affecting few people and not address the issues affecting most people.

If that were true then they would put it to a statewide vote

This isn't even backburner material.

It's not even in the top 20 things La state government should even worry about right now. This shouldn't even be debated while our roads are trashed, our levees are weak, our cities are collapsing, and criminals have free reign.

You can still get it shipped from a hemp business out of state to your door. It’s federally legal

Of course they did and of course Loser Landry will push for this. Another item that does NOTHING to help the state but gets a big cheer from those small government RINOs

Without looking it up, I would wager that the people pushing this bill have ties to the pharmaceutical industry and/or medical marijuana monopoly.

The mistake was making “medical” legal and allowing the state to control all production (through LSU and Southern), as well as limiting the number of dispensaries to that minute number that the government is also all up in.

Louisiana truly is the worst of all political worlds: moronically socially conservative and recklessly fiscally liberal.
