The bill, HB 492, would decriminalize possession of 1 ounce of marijuana by adults age 21 or older and allow residents to grow up to six plants. State-licensed stores would be authorized to sell marijuana.

 

"As a libertarian I've always believed people are responsible for their own decisions: you drink too much, you smoke too much, you pay the consequences," bill sponsor Steve Vaillancourt said, sharing that he personally consumes too much salt.
