Republican Sen. Pete Kelly’s attempt to criminalize marijuana concentrates when the two-year constitutional protection for Ballot Measure 2 expires fell flat on the Senate floor Monday, with many fellow Republicans and urban Democrats concerned the ban was an overreaction that undermined voter intent.
The amendment was offered to a largely non-controversial bill updating criminal law to be in line with the voter initiative to legalize marijuana.
Senate Bill 30, which senators had hoped to get into law before Ballot Measure 2 went into effect on Feb. 24, passed the Senate 17-3. North Pole Sen. John Coghill said the bill “has been moving at the speed of cold molasses.”
