Minnesota could legalize recreational marijuana in the next month.
A Democrat-led recreational marijuana bill has cleared a gantlet of committees, setting it up for votes in the DFL-controlled state Legislature. The Minnesota House, which passed a similar proposal two years ago that was blocked by Senate Republicans, is expected to vote on the bill Monday. A Senate vote could follow soon after.
If approved, differences in the bills passed by each chamber would be reconciled in a conference committee. The final compromise bill would then need one last vote before heading to DFL Gov. Tim Walz, who supports legalizing marijuana.
