ANNAPOLIS, Md. -
A Maryland lawmaker has introduced a bill to legalize marijuana.
Delegate Curt Anderson introduced the measure in the House of Delegates on Thursday.
It would make marijuana legal for adults 21 and over and create a system to regulate and tax it like alcohol.
The measure introduced by the Baltimore Democrat also would direct the Maryland comptroller to license marijuana retail stores, wholesale facilities and testing facilities.
The bill would create an excise tax of $50 per ounce on wholesale sales and direct proceeds to fund treatment programs to prevent alcohol, tobacco and drug abuse.
Last November, voters in Colorado and Washington state approved measures to make marijuana legal for adults 21 and older.

D.C. police have been warning bicyclists since March not to ride the Metropolitan Branch Trail alone. And they stepped up patrols on the trail then too. But it didn't stop a group of teenagers from knocking a 37-year-old Silver Spring man off his bike Tuesday and savagely beating him.
