US RI: R.I. Lawmakers to Weigh Legislation to Legalize Pot

The Day, 26 Feb 2013 – Providence ( AP) – State lawmakers this week will review legislation to legalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana and other proposals that would crack down on some lesser known substances. The legalization bill would allow those 21 and older to possess up to an ounce of marijuana, and would impose alcohol-style regulations and taxes on the sale of the drug.
