Speaker DeLeo, Senate Prez Rosenberg Agree: Six Months Needed to Rewrite New Marijuana Law

STATE HOUSE — The leaders of both the House and Senate are on board with a six-month time frame for rewriting the state's marijuana laws after voters in November approved regulated sales of the intoxicating plant.
In a brief hallway interview on Thursday, House Speaker Robert DeLeo concurred with the six-month goal Senate President Stan Rosenberg laid out on Wednesday for passing a new marijuana law intended to deal with issues lawmakers feel are not properly addressed by the ballot law.
