State Delegate Submits Bid Allowing Voters To Decide Legalizing Recreational Cannabis Use

Takoma Park Del. David Moon is hoping his third effort to legalize recreational marijuana use and sales in Maryland will work.

The Democrat submitted a bill to the General Assembly on Wednesday that, if approved, would set up a statewide referendum so voters can decide whether to allow the nonmedical use and sale of cannabis in the state. He said he believes it’s the only recreational marijuana legalization bill submitted to the legislature this year.

It’s the third year in a row Moon has submitted the legislation. It was cross-filed in the Senate by Sen. Will Smith (D-Silver Spring). Moon said last year’s bill was never taken up for a vote in the House Judiciary Committee and did not move forward.
