"Alaska marijuana initiative"

One of Juneau’s rising restaurant empires is continuing to expand, now with another location, a Lemon Creek seafood processor and even a possible foray into marijuana.

Alaska’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Board director has given recommendations on how to improve the rollout of marijuana regulation in the coming months.

The Juneau Police Department seized more heroin and methamphetamine last year than in 2013, but seizures of illegal prescription drugs were down.

The Juneau Assembly unanimously voted to amend the city’s indoor public smoking ban to include pot, despite objections from some marijuana advocates.

The Juneau Assembly on Monday will consider two measures restricting — at least temporarily — legal marijuana in the capital city.

A paid petitioner who’s working on the campaign to regulate marijuana talks about what goes into the job.
