MMJ Bill heads to Senate in Big Sky State

Will the Grow Your Own work?

Via Billings Gazette:

HELENA — A panel of lawmakers has agreed on a final version of a proposal to overhaul Montana’s medical marijuana industry.

Senate Bill 423 will now go to the House and Senate for approval. If it passes, it then goes to Gov. Brian Schweitzer, who has already vetoed a bill to repeal the medical pot law.

A conference committee of lawmakers from both chambers agreed Tuesday on what is expected to be the final version of the measure carried by Senate Majority Leader Jeff Essmann.

The bill would do away with almost all of the state’s medical marijuana businesses and switch to a “grow-your-own” system.

Lawmakers agreed to allow providers to grow the drug for up to three patients and to let patients cover provider registration fees.
