HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — Several cannabis advocacy groups are coming together to hold “Legalization Week” at the State Capitol this week.

Legalization Week 2024 started today with a rally at the Harrisburg Capitol building on October 1 at 10 a.m., bringing advocates, community leaders, and constituents together to urge legislators to decriminalize and legalize cannabis and protect consumers in the state from outdated and harmful laws.

“We want to make sure that people are safe we want to make sure that people can be included in the economic emergence of cannabis,” said Cherron Perry-Thomas, the founder of Black Cannabis Week and the Diasporic Alliance for Cannabis Opportunities (DACO).
