Montana Bill to Repeal State's Medical Marijuana Law Passed House Vote
A bill to repeal the Montana medical marijuana law passed in the Montana House of Representatives by a vote of 63 to 37 on February 10, 2011. Some proponents of the repeal law say that the use of medical marijuana under the state's current law may have the potential to encourage recreational use of the drug and fear that it is a pathway to full legalization, as reported in The New York Times. Other representatives posit that tighter regulations could better implement the state’s current medical marijuana law.
