Legal pot bill vote scheduled Monday in Minnesota House

ST. PAUL — After months of committee hearings in the Minnesota Legislature, a bill to legalize recreational marijuana is headed for a vote in the state House of Representatives.

A legalization bill that would allow marijuana possession, expunge marijuana conviction records and create a new a regulatory scheme for the substance cleared its final committee in the House on April 17, and is scheduled for a vote this coming Monday.

It's not the first time legalization has come this far in the Legislature, but with a Democratic-Farmer-Labor trifecta in state government, the odds of passage appear higher than ever.
