House Agriculture Committee approved two bills to the House floor Tuesday related to the currently illegal plants in the cannabis family. They would make it legal for universities to research the use of the fiber from the hemp plant for uses in textiles and other industries and growing marijuana for medical uses.

The second bill, HB1099, by Major Thibaut, D-New Roads, would legalize and set up a system for the production and distribution of medical marijuana. The bill allows LSU Ag Center and the Southern University Ag Center to have the first rights to grow marijuana.


Awwwww shite

If you want to get into the marijuana biz via college you'd be better off going to the west coast

Southern and LSU have the rights of first refusal. That doesn't mean they'll do it.

They already expressed their reservations about this when it first made the news last summer.

Just wait if they do. Then the process gets open to private bids for one grow facility for the entire state. Legislators even joked in today's discussion on 1099 about how lucrative that could be.
