There was a Pot Legalization rally in the Capitol today (Wednesday)

[Eric J in MN]

Hundreds of people rallied at the State Capitol Wednesday to legalize marijuana in Minnesota.

Supporters say it’s less dangerous than beer, cigarettes, or even peanuts.

...Only one Minnesota lawmaker, Rep. Rena Moran of St. Paul, publicly expressed support for legal pot — noting that blacks in her Ramsey County district are eight times more likely to be arrested for possession.

“Let’s create a system right here at the Capitol where we can tax!” Moran, a Democrat from St. Paul, said. “Where we can regulate the sale for the State of Minnesota so that we can invest more wisely in all of us.”

The event was organized by NORML, the National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws.
