PROVIDENCE,
R.I. - June 8, 2017 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Regulate Rhode Island and
allied legislators are announcing a new proposal they call "incremental
legalization." Specifically, the compromise legislation would:
- legalize possession of an ounce or less for adults 21 and older on
July 1, 2018 when marijuana retail stores are scheduled to open in
Massachusetts; and
- establish a six-person advisory board comprised of two state
officials selected by the governor, two state senators, and two state
representatives to study outcomes of legalization in other states and
issue a report by January 1, 2018 with recommendations for the General
Assembly on how to establish a system for taxing and regulating marijuana
in Rhode Island.
Sen.
Joshua Miller (D-Cranston) and Rep. Scott Slater (D-Providence) are prepared to
amend their legalization bills (S 0420 and H 5555) to reflect these changes.
