    To elaborate on a few points- The only reason pot has such a bad stigma for being a gateway drug is simply because it is illegal! If you want to buy pot, you are forced to do so illegally; in turn it is usually the (dealers) who get you hooked on hard stuff not the pot itself. Legalize, tax, and end this rediculous phase in history.

    Just legalize it, come on. People losing their freedom and jobs over a plant that is beneficial in many ways, while others are making a living off of it. I see something very wrong with this

    Another FAIL for PennLive!

    Just watched the video. PennLive should be ASHAMED. They edited out the negative comments and only allowed full speeches by proponets! So much for practicing ethical journalism….

    Marijuana is not a gateway drug Period!

    It’s an alternative to the horrible RX drugs that Big Pharma puts into the marketplace!

    If done rapidly AND correctly in legislation it has the ability to help other citizens of Pennsylvania!

    Many serious and really just hellishy bad health conditions…can be moderately to fully solved with Marijuana!

    Let’s get it going!

    Thank you for sharing some of the first stop of Wheatley’s listening tour! Curious to know if anyone will be actively polling legalization support/opposition at each of these stops, as well as documenting the most prevalent arguments made against legalization during the listening tour.

    Cannabinoid hypermesis syndrome is a real disease caused by marijuana.

    Fetterman reminds me of the founder of the Church of Satan, Anton Lavey. Wonder if they’re related.

    I think it’s about time we caught up to other states let’s face it we’re behind the times it’s proven to have many benefits! And we also have to face the fact that adults even if illegal are still gonna do it I think as human we have the right to make our own choices🤷🏽‍♂️ I say legalizing marijuana is the smartest thing we could do!

    With EVERYTHING going on right now, our NEW LT. Governor chooses this as a priority?

    Ludicirous.
