Battle over medical marijuana program comes down to licenses

ANNAPOLIS, Md. —A battle over Maryland's medical marijuana program is coming down to the number of licenses.

Lawmakers are wrangling over increasing the number of medical marijuana licenses to achieve racial diversity. The law currently allows for 15 licenses. The Legislative Black Caucus wants to increase the licenses by five.

"We absolutely insist that five of these licenses go to minorities, African-Americans and other minorities, in terms of ownership," said Delegate Cheryl Glenn, D-Baltimore City.

License to make sure it's their family and friends getting rich while we are getting patted down, sniffed by dogs and arrested for doing the same.
The coming Year Party 2.0, we will dress as Indians and throw bales of marijuana overboard.

This should have been a simple process, but it's been bunged up by Maryland's usual dishwater legislation. Frankly, looking at its track record, I'm surprised that they've gotten even this far with it.
