State Representative Diane Russell of Maine held a press conference on 4/20/2011 to discuss her comprehensive marijuana legalization bill. LD 1453 would tax and regulate recreational marijuana, expand the state’s existing medical cannabis program and allow for the farming of industrial hemp. A public hearing on the bill is scheduled for May 10th.

thank you for your words of wisdom and common sense….much needed commodities in this time…prohibition never worked and still is not working…a blatangt disregard for the law and our system of justice is being fostered by our current drug policies…drug use is a healoth issue…not a criminal issue…predators, murderers and rapists aaare routinely released early from prison due to prison overcrowding while we continue to felonize and keep jailed victimless ‘criminals’ whose actions never impacted another person. it is time for justicer and common sense and new policies and serve people and reflect our values and ideals….legalize marijuana for adults and for patients and legalize hemp tohelp restore the economy.

How refreshing it is to listen to a politician who has a full grasp of the issue of marijuana legalization. I live in the state of New Jersey, a state run by politicians who are trying to push it’s citizens back into the 20th century. Maine is extremely fortunate to have a State Representative like Diane Russell, someone with vision. Good Luck
