Minnesota lawmakers are continuing to take small steps toward marijuana legalization.
Wednesday, the Minnesota House of Representatives will hold its first public hearing on the bill to legalize marijuana for adults in the state and expunge some cannabis convictions.
It comes just less than a week after the bill was introduced in the chamber.

While DFL lawmakers, who control both chambers of the legislature, as well as Gov. Tim Walz have expressed support for the bill, it still has a long road ahead.
However, Wednesday’s hearing marks another step forward for a bill that many remain divided on but is getting Minnesotans’ attention.
Wednesday’s hearing is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. and can be viewed online.
