Speaking in a conference room within the Alaska State Capitol, James Barrett reached into a pocket and pulled out two $1 bills.
Waving them, he drew the attention of lawmakers who leaned back in their leather chairs and listened to him with new attention.
“When we dial it down to cost per Alaskan, it’s less than two bucks,” he said waving the bills.
Barrett was speaking in favor of the establishment of the Alaska Marijuana Control Board on Friday, and after he spoke, it sailed through the Alaska Senate Finance Committee. A day later, it passed the full Senate with unanimous approval.
House Bill 123 now needs only a procedural vote in the House and the governor’s signature, and it will become the state’s first marijuana-related law since voters approved the legalization of recreational marijuana in November.
