The proposal was introduced by cannabis advocate and state senator, Joshua Miller, chair of the chamber’s Health and Human Services Committee. It now heads to the state House of Representatives.
House Speaker Joe Shekarchi, a Warwick Democrat, has said the Democratic-controlled Legislature will likely end up taking up the question on how to structure a legal cannabis industry in a special session later this year.
