Bill Summary
Provides for the decriminalization of marijuana possession and distribution (OR DECREASE GF EX See Note)
AI Summary
This bill provides for the decriminalization of marijuana possession and distribution in Louisiana. It amends state law to remove marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinols, and chemical derivatives of tetrahydrocannabinols from the controlled substances schedule, effectively decriminalizing personal possession and distribution of these substances. However, the bill's provisions will only take effect if the legislature enacts a statutory regulatory system for the legal sale and distribution of marijuana and establishes a sales tax on those sales. The bill also includes provisions that allow employers to maintain reasonable workplace drug policies and schools to enforce drug-free zone policies.
