Marijuana: California Lawmakers

marijuana: Lawmakers sent Gov, according to Metro News. Jerry Brown a measure merging the state's longstanding medical marijuana law with the much more permissive rules voters approved last year to legalize pot sales to people 21 and older. California lawmakers voted Thursday to set rules for the state's nascent marijuana industry and to quash the growth of federal immigration detention as part of a 125 billion state budget lawmakers approved for the next fiscal year. The state will develop standards for organic marijuana, allow pot samples at county fairs and permit home deliveries. The measure prevents local governments from signing or expanding contracts with federal authorities for immigration detention facilities. The Legislature also backed a measure to limit new beds for immigration detention, dealing a blow to the Trump administration's efforts to boost deportation. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
