Legislator wants to punish city for backing decrim and MMJ As Drug WarRant and Cannabisnews have already noted, Missouri Sen. Chuck Gross has introduced a bill that would force schools not to let their athletes compete in Columbia.
Those events and others would become political victims under an unusual bill filed yesterday by a state legislator irked by Columbia’s new marijuana laws. Sen. Chuck Gross, R-St. Charles, introduced a measure that would prohibit any public K-12 schools from participating in sporting events in cities that allow medicinal marijuana or limit penalties to $250 for misdemeanor possession offenses.
Other legislators quoted in the story recognize this for the grandstanding it is, but prohibitionists do have an interest in keeping people away from places that have enacted drug law reform, since those places haven't gone to hell as predicted.
