Downstate lawmaker opposed to legalizing recreational marijuana

Illinois lawmakers are in the middle of their annual veto session, but there are thoughts about what is to come under Governor-elect J.B. Pritzker’s tenure. One of the biggest questions is whether recreational marijuana will become law in the state. State Rep. Terri Bryant of Murphysboro says while she’s a big supporter of medical marijuana, she does not support selling the drug for recreational purposes. 

Bryant says she sees recreational marijuana as a gateway drug that leads to more severe drug use and bigger crimes down the road for some us.
