A top Minnesota lawmaker says marijuana reform could move forward in a special session that was just launched. This is great news! Earlier this year, the Minnesota House passed a bill that directs the state to petition the federal government for an exemption. Iowa and Hawaii have already passed bills through both their Houses and Senates to file for federal petition, but the Republican controlled Senate in Minnesota failed to address the federal issue this year so far.

The first is to expand the state’s decriminalization policy, and the second is to have the state petition for a federal exemption for Minnesota’s medical cannabis program. Part of the motivation behind that latter proposal is to ensure that registered patients are able to lawfully purchase and possess firearms in spite of federal restrictions.”
