Medical marijuana passes Senate
by Journal Inquirer staff and from news reports
Published: Monday, May 7, 2012 1:39 PM EDT
Legislation allowing medical marijuana use in Connecticut cleared the Senate early Saturday after nearly 10 hours of debate, and is ready for Gov. Dannel P. Malloys signature. The bill cleared the Democrat-controlled Senate in a 21-13 vote at 2:34 a.m. The debate started Friday just before 5 p.m. Sen. Antonietta Boucher, R-Wilton, spoke for most of that time, arguing against the bill for health, safety, legal, and budget reasons. The bill already cleared the Democrat-controlled House and now goes to the desk of Malloy, also a Democrat. The governor said he will sign it.
