JUST IN: Democratic state legislators on Thursday unveiled their bill to legalize recreational marijuana in Minnesota, setting the stage for months of debate on an issue they said could become law this year.

The proposal, released on the third day of the 2023 legislative session, represents the most serious push yet for marijuana legalization in Minnesota. Democrats no longer have a Republican Senate majority in their way after winning control of the House, Senate and governor's office in November.

"The Senate is committed to making sure that we right this wrong," DFL Sen. Lindsey Port said, referring to cannabis prohibition.

Democratic state Rep. Zack Stephenson added, "I believe that 2023 is the year we will legalize adult-use cannabis in Minnesota."
