While the bill does not allow as many plants at HB 1092, which allows up to 12 presuming there are 2 adults over 21 in the household, it does allow the ability to share your cannabis which is vital to the medical cannabis community.
It’s silly that I can’t buy my sister cannabis for her birthday or simply pick some up for her while I’m at the store. Liquor, which I do not like comparing cannabis to, but since it’s ran by the same state department I will, is given freely as a gift to adults 21 and over. Why are we not allowing cannabis to flourish in the same manor?
HB 1212 has been scheduled for executive session in the House Committee on Commerce & Gaming on January 26 at 9:00 AM. I believe it’s in the O’Brien Building. It’s important that people show up ready to be respectful and thoughtful.
