Medical marijuana patients in North Dakota would be allowed to grow their own pot for personal use under legislation before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Lawmakers took testimony on Senate Bill 22-34 today (Tuesday). The measure would limit production to eight plants and require the marijuana to be grown in an enclosed and locked facility. Jason Wahl of the Division of Medical Marijuana says he has concerns about the lack of state control.
Grand Forks Sheriff Andy Schneider says the bill is problematic from a law enforcement standpoint.
The committee took no immediate action on the bill.
