State to study marijuana law amid conflicting statutes
Cohen said the department reviews the entire drug law and a separate marijuana statute but will act only after the state Supreme Court rules on two conflicting laws. One bars marijuana with all drugs as a felony with prison terms. the other from 1965 treats marijuana as a misdemeanor with fines but no jail. A case before the court seeks to determine if the 1965 law repealed the older felony statute.
