The national Marijuana Policy Project Thursday announced a $4,000 contribution to Republican gubernatorial candidate Jeff Johnson and an equal contribution to the Minnesota DFL Senate's campaign arm.
"Jeff Johnson's support for the more comprehensive, Senate-approved medical marijuana proposal demonstrates that compassion is not a partisan issue," Robert Capecchi, deputy director of state policies for the Marijuana Policy Project, said in a statement.
Johnson has called for a more expansive medical marijuana law than the one DFL Gov. Mark Dayton signed earlier this year.
