Democrats shaping plan to legalize recreational marijuana

Advocates for legal recreational marijuana in Minnesota say they are readying a set of principles in the next couple of weeks to guide their push in the session of the Legislature that convenes in February.

"This process that we're going through - these town halls and developing principles and policy recommendations - at the end of all of this we would expect to be a bill, ready for introduction at the beginning of session, that would be the state-of-the-art in the country," Rep. Ryan Winkler, DFL-Golden Valley, said Tuesday.
