The entire bill won't be finalized and readied for votes today. Big unknown: tax rate. The committee fashioning an adult-use marijuana/cannabis bill is due to meet again on Tuesday. Once a final bill is settled, it would get up-or-down votes. House first, Senate last. #mnleg

Couple notable changes to the Minnesota marijuana legalization bill. Looks like the conference committee is going to permit 2 pounds of at-home possession. Also, local governments got new ability to cap retail businesses in their area by population size. No outright ban. #mnleg
