Bipartisan bill proposes legalizing adult-use cannabis in Pennsylvania

(WHTM) — 4/20 is tomorrow, and a bipartisan bill was introduced to the State House earlier this week that would legalize adult-use cannabis in Pennsylvania.

The bill, introduced by Reps. Emily Kinkhead (D-20) and Abby Major (R-60), aims to establish a “stable, well-regulated cannabis market that prioritizes public safety and public health, protects children from exposure, promotes social justice, and fosters economic opportunity.”

According to the bill’s memo, Pennsylvania residents with medical needs have had access to cannabis through the state’s medical marijuana program, however, all but one of its neighboring states have legalized recreational adult-use cannabis.
