Pa. lawmakers renew push to legalize recreational marijuana
Pennsylvania lawmakers are making another push to legalize recreational marijuana in Pennsylvania.
State Senators Sharif Street (D-Philadelphia County) and Dan Laughlin (R-Erie County) have introduced Senate Bill 846 in another attempt to legalize marijuana in the Commonwealth. The bill would allow recreational use among adults and set the minimum consumption age to 21.
“The time to end the prohibition on cannabis has come,” said State Sen. Street.
A similar bill was co-sponsored by State Senators Street and Laughlin back in 2021, which failed to gain traction, however, they believe the timing is right now.

GOOD LUCK 2 people fighting that’s it only 2
Legalizing marijuana would pay for so many needed improvements & fund every social program on the books. But if our backward ass politicians want that money to go to Maryland & Jersey, so be it. Guess we shouldn’t be surprised anymore by exactly how little politicians care.
So now Allen Iverson and Wiz Kalifia can sell cannabis in stores but for everyone else it’s prison. Soon one day everyone is going to wake up to destroyed cities worse than 911 and a bunch of dead politicians and their supporters and your evil nation will never recover from this coming attack.
The alleged Republicans in my state are complete trash. A a christian i have the constitutional religous freedom to use cannabis. Crooked rhinos trampling on human rights. Greedy government mafia Monopoly. This state treats patients like animals.
Pennsylvania is too late…all the talent and those who could have already left the state over this shit….PA is a joke
People like me have zero trust in elected officials just think what they’re pulling on us behind the scenes that we have no clue of if they’re screwing us over on cannabis. It’s the end of America.
Crap is crap weed.most crap weed users don’t work. The rob and steal to support their habit. Small business lock and load. Don’t put with their crap.take them out when the try and rob you.they already got a arrest record so no lost to the world.
I’d definitely rather keep my money here than going out of state, but if the rule makers don’t want to enact change, what choice do I really have? 🤔
Boycott alcohol for 2 months I promise you cannabis will become legal in all states ASAP you gotta hit the government in the pocket to get them to listen. If you stop the sales of alcohol they lose a lot of tax dollars so tell your friends to have a national boycott for 2 months see what happens you will be surprised
The only reason its not legal is because someone is making money for keeping it illegal
PLEADE DO A STORY ON ALL THE STATE OFFICIALS IN PA THAT OWN DISPENSERS I KNOW OF ONE JUDGE THST OWNS ONE IN YORK COUNTY
Been dragging there feet for years
A slimmer of hope in an otherwise awful state
Im high right now 😮💨😮💨
Cannabis is brilliant.
They should Pennsylvania is surrounded by legalized states anyway there’s 23 states now that have legalized it thats enough to change federal laws and the money would help the state immensely it would help my farm as i just want to geow for industrial use such as paper and cloth save some trees you know
Do it , legalize it
You’re all going to be destroyed in one day, all hell will break lose and none of you will know what will hit even though you all were warned.
#notamerica pretty sad when Thailand has more freedoms then American citizens when it comes to choosing what natural medicines they want to use and not having to purchase it from the mafia government-controlled monopoly. Seriously when Thailand has more freedoms you know America’s a banana Republic… Fake republican scumballs playing a narritive for money and power.
How do you all like that lantern fly plague that God has sent upon your states. Just one of many plagues to come and it’s only going to get worse for all of you because Governor Shapiro refuses to change Pa’s cannabis laws for growing and selling. Plagues be upon you all!
Blah blah with the tax crap… What happen to the cigarettes taxes to schools so that it wont shut down all we see is the cigarettes prices go up and whole bunch of schools closed so where is all that money really going too?
Pa is always last to the table. We could of done this years ago and been on the map. Could be one of the top states in the country for it.
Should be legal but very illegal for people under 21. Weed set me back years before I realized I was an addict.
Indiana needs to legalize it. The governor needs to crawl out of his hole & come to realize that it’s a good thing.
Legalize cannabis federally within each and every state. This way, irrational prohibitionist politicians can’t obstruct and prevent legalization against the will of the vast majority of Americans whom support full federal cannabis legalization nationwide. Treat cannabis exactly like we treat far more dangerous and deadly yet perfectly legal alcohol. Legal in all states.
Couple questions for y’all……
Why in thee blue hell is cannabis scheduled ahead of fentanyl?
When have you ever heard of someone’s death solely attributed to cannabis use? You haven’t because it hasn’t nor would it happen!
When have you ever heard of someone using cannabis then going home and beating their spouse? My guess is never because it doesn’t happen! Our government will gladly allow any 21 year old that isn’t already intoxicated, purchase enough alcohol to kill a human being…. Who may get behind the wheel and kill many….. who may go home and beat their spouse and or children and never ever blame it on the substance! Or, they’ll justify it by saying the person made bad decisions influenced by alcohol! Our government will gladly allow pharmaceutical companies to prescribe poison to her people, knowing that it’s killing them but allowing it anyway because said government benefits greatly from it! All of this is ok but they’re soooooo scared of the cannabis plant, which does none of that. It actually helps people! We’ve been played for decades folks! Cannabis isn’t the enemy…. It’s the answer and solution to many problems!
LEGALIZATION TODAY!!!!
Sorry for the rant y’all. Very passionate about this!
✌🏽✌🏽
For alcohol to be legal and cannabis not is hypocrisy at it’s finest. If the people of PA got a chance to vote on the issue it would have been legal in 2020. Never an overdose, it makes police officers jobs safer, it could create.. I won’t even get into the positive socioeconomic benefits. Listen to your constants
LEGALIZE IT DUDE!!!!!
Bad idea
When the nuclear weapons hit your cities, and they will, there is going to be a lot of dead dirty cops laying dead in the streets like piggies caught in a net. Your children will lay dead on every street corner. Marijuana being illegal will be the least of all your worries.
