Jindal says he will sign marijuana bills

Gov. Bobby Jindal says he will sign bills that allow legalization of the dispensary of medical marijuana in Louisiana and reduce penalties for simple marijuana possession.

Senate Bill 143 by Sen. Fred Mills, R-Parks, sets up a system that allows for medical marijuana for people who need it, unlike the current state law on the books.

The bill cleared the House Committee on Health and Welfare with amendments Wednesday.

Meanwhile, SB 241 and HB 149 seek to soften Louisiana's stiff penalties for simple marijuana possession.
