Louisiana is one step closer to legalizing recreational marijuana.
The Louisiana House of Representatives passed a bill proposing to decriminalize possession of marijuana by a 67-25 margin Tuesday, May 11.
House Bill 652 authored by state Rep. Cedric B. Glover (D - Shreveport) would make possessing marijuana a misdemeanor crime with a max fine of $100 for possession of 14 grams or less.
The Louisiana Senate will now hear the bill for debate.
