Democrats in the General Assembly laid out ideas they think will work for a bill to legalize the use of recreational marijuana in Connecticut.
Some Democratic lawmakers in the Connecticut House of Representatives announced a plan to legalize recreational marijuana in the state.
They have said they predicted a tax on marijuana would generate up to $70 million in the first year and potentially more than $150 million annually afterward.
Democrats previously said they also want to expunge certain criminal records for marijuana-related offenses.
Republican Rep. Vincent Candelora, a Republican from North Branford who opposes legalization, questioned the connection between the two issues.
