We can understand why some people might be persuaded that Senator Jeanette White supported cannabis legalization in the last session while Senator Becca Balint opposed it.
But the truth is that Senator White supported and voted in favor of a bill regulating cannabis. And there is a profound difference between regulation and legalization.
Senator White promoted a regulation bill with cultivation licenses limited to a few well-funded and well-connected industrial growers.
The bill was loaded with pork, mandating that the Department of Public Safety both write and enforce rules from which they would receive 25 percent of the taxes for enforcement.
