A group composed of lawmakers from Connecticut have come together in a strong effort to stop prohibition in The Constitution State. Juan Candelaria, a representative from New Haven recently stated that he and a rabid group of nine activists submitted a brand ned proposal in the General Assembly calling for the legalization of recreational cannabis. As a result, the proposal would make a fully legal marijuana industry that would allow adults 21 or over to buy cannabis from dispensaries throughout the entire state without any worries of law enforcement officers standing by waiting to incarcerate them.
Albeit Candelaria is under no impression that his goal to legalize marijuana, similar to the one currently going on in Vermont, will be simple, he will be doing his best to at the very least encourage leadership to allow a public hearing on the issue. But the lawmaker has not given any signal as to what he may be ready to do in order to keep his current proposal from ending up like one that was discarded immediately last year. However, he was never given the chance to be chewed on by the leaders of the committee. Even then, supporters of this legislation say that they will lean on Connecticut’s debt of more than $500 million as a key incentive.
“I think the fiscal situation the state finds itself in is fertile ground for discussing the legalization of marijuana,” co-sponsor of the bill, Representative Ed Vargas, said to the Hartford Courant.
It makes sense to put a price on cannabis that will result in a huge amount of tax revenue from a state that is facing large deficits. For instance, Colorado was the first state to allow cannabis to be cultivated and distributed for capitalism and is now selling more than $1 billion worth of marijuana products annually.
