Idaho’s Marijuana Bill Clears Legislative Hurdle, Awaits Governor’s Signature
A proposed bill to legalize marijuana in Idaho has reached the desk of Governor Brad Little, marking a significant milestone in the state’s ongoing debate over cannabis reform. The legislation, which has garnered widespread support, is now poised to become law if the governor signs it.
The bill, which was approved by the Idaho House and Senate, would allow adults 21 and older to possess and purchase marijuana for recreational use. It would also establish a regulatory framework for the production and sale of cannabis products, including edibles, concentrates, and topicals.
If signed into law, Idaho would join a growing list of states that have legalized marijuana for adult use, including neighboring Oregon and Washington. The move is expected to generate significant revenue for the state through taxes on marijuana sales and to provide a new source of income for local businesses.
The governor’s decision on the bill is now awaited, with many hoping he will sign it into law.
