A commercialization bill for alaska. That was quick, guess the thought of lost tax dollars gets them moving. Doesn't sound to bad.

Cannabis isn't likely to end up as legal as we might hope. It's still going to be a controlled substance. It's just that now we have our government's permission to have a little bit. The Alaska State Legislature has two bills they're pushing. One is SB 62 and it deals with the commercial aspects of marijuana. Then there's HB 79/SB 30 which governs personal possession.

Thanks Denali

I thought for it being the first bill on commercial side of things it was better than i thought it would be. At least it seems like they are trying to make it work. I figured they would only hand out a few licenses for a ton of money. Hopefully there will put out a new version of the bill, that will be better.
