 A pair of Minnesota Democrats say it's time for the state to legalize recreational marijuana use. The state passed a tightly controlled medical marijuana law in 2014. It bans using the platform and is only available to residents with a handful of severe conditions. Today, Representative John Applebaum said he's planning a bill that would make Minnesota the ninth state allowing recreational sales in use of the drug. Representative Tina Liebling took a different route proposing putting the question to voters through constitutional amendment. Applebaum says Minnesota's attitudes towards marijuana are shifting and the success with legislation in other states shows it's time to start a conversation. Now both proposals stand little chance of passing the Republican-controlled legislature and Democratic Governor Mark Dayton says he won't support legalizing marijuana.
