Top Minnesota DFL lawmakers expect marijuana bill to pass within two years
It's one of the biggest questions facing the Minnesota Legislature when Democrats take control in the new year: will lawmakers legalize recreational marijuana? This week, two top lawmakers said they think it'll happen over the next two years. The DFL-controlled House has already passed a bill once, in 2021, though the Senate was in Republican hands at the time, and the GOP didn't advance the measure. Democrats regained the Senate in November's election.
