A vote on legislation that would legalize recreational marijuana use and possession in Louisiana was once again delayed on the House floor.
The bill by Mandeville Republican Representative Richard Nelson currently is set to be heard Wednesday.
The bill would legalize possession and use for those over the age of 21.
A companion bill would set the licensing fees for the personal and commercial growth of the plant, currently at 100 and 2,500 dollars each.
According to recent polling public opinion is on the side of legalizing but sheriffs, district attorneys, and other law enforcement outfits have lined up against the issue.
