MONROE - Louisiana lawmakers are reacting to calls to legalize marijuana.
It comes after President Joe Biden pardoned thousands convicted of federal possession charges and is reviewing how the drug is classified.
“I have been pretty firm in my opposition to any recreational marijuana, and that hasn’t changed,” State Senator Stewart Cathey of Monroe (R-33) told KNOE.
State Representative Travis Johnson (D-21) says he hasn’t given much thought to legalization, but is open to considering it.
“If it were to become legal, it would definitely be a new and improved and much-needed revenue for our state,” explained Johnson.
