Guam Governor Eddie Calvo on Tuesday introduced legislation to legalize marijuana for those 21 and older.
According to Calvo the law is modeled after Colorado’s Amendment 64; however, it has been “heavily vetted and changed” to Guam.
It would allow for the possession and use of up to an ounce of cannabis, and the personal cultivation of up to six plants.
It would also legalize a system of licensed cannabis retail outlets and cultivation centers, similar to Colorado’s system. Cannabis would be taxed at 15% at the point of sale.
