The legislation is being introduced in Annapolis by several lawmakers including Sen. Richard Madaleno, vice chair of the Senate Budget and Taxation Committee, as well as Dels. Curt Anderson and David Moon.
One bill would allow anyone over age 21 to possess and grow marijuana. It would still be illegal to smoke — or otherwise ingest — pot in public or to drive under the influence. The same bill would give the Comptroller’s Office the responsibility for issuing licenses and regulating sales.

Imagine that... A F*n Democrat wanting a tax!!
Ring a bell?
The "Poultry Fair Share Act," a proposed 5-cent-per-bird wholesale tax offered by Sen. Richard S. Madaleno Jr., a Montgomery County Democrat.
Why do you people keep voting for these moronic Democrats!!! They are going to continue to tax us to death.
This idiot is drumming up support for this Bill by allowing young people to become Pot Heads!!
Jeff Session will enforce Federal law.
About time. Hopefully there is enough sense is Annapolis for this to go through.
Anon 10:08 - I'm right there with you. This is very needed legislation. People many "can't see the forest for the trees."
It (cannabis) won't go away, so don't pretend that it will.
It's a staple of the illicit drug trade, especially in poverty-stricken areas.
It's costing Marylanders hundreds of millions in law enforcement and court fees every year.
The current laws are meaningless if the perceived problem isn't reined in by them, making the approach not just ineffective, but counterproductive.
Fix it.
kinda crazy you can grow it but you cant smoke it
Federal Law says NO ....better ck with Trump !!!
States can't tell Federal Govt they are doing as they please
lets do it. It would be a boom for the east coast and MD.
Cocaine is next
Powder or crack take your Pick as long as it's TAXED !!!
Is it a Santuary state for Marajuana !!!
Chicken feed can be infused with it for Super Chicken !!
Just what we need; another intoxicant and another sin tax. Draw the line and keep pot illegal. There is no upside, other than tax revenue, for this drug to br legalized!! More intoxicants, more problems!
Illegal to drive under the influence? How long does it stay in your system, isn't that several days? Sounds like a back door way for the state to make more revenue to me.
Marijuana is so much safer than alcohol. All the drunks out here driving around killing people is ok. Potheads won't go nowhere but to get food. But some people are stuck on stupid. It has no comparison to coke or heroine. The biggest drug problem is legal prescriptions. But that's ok because a doctor prescribes it. A whole bunch of idiots.
Any Drug you want AS Long AS it is Taxed
can be made Legal .....the current Trend in America !!
Read the whole statement, you won't be allowed to smoke in public
Its already illegal to DUI of weed and you can be charged
We, including out government, should not profit from the addiction of those addicted to drugs- immoral period.
Cocaine Next ........coming Legal soon !!!!!!!
All you old ignorant dinosaurs need to get your heads out your Collective asses and get with it!! pot is here to stay! should be legalized federaly! taxed and supported! no one has died from overdosing,nor does it destroy lives. however alcohol and big pharmaceutical drugs have destroyed and killed many. Pot is Natures cure for allot of ailments not just recreational.
