You’re right, Madam President, legalizing cannabis in PA for adult use will be hard. But there are some of us in the Senate ready to get to work. We can do it because Pennsylvanians want us to get it done! #legalizepa

The Death Penalty is ineffective, expensive and too often applied to the wrong person. Today Attorney General Merrick Garland ordered a moratorium on federal executions. Governor Wolf has done the same in PA. I’ll continue to work w/ @SenatorMuth to repeal the death penalty in PA

The message has been the same in Pennsylvania, especially in regard to home grow. Any adult use policy should allow home cultivation. This is what communities across PA have advocated for. Pass it on to your legislator at #CannabisCommunity @KCC_PA

NEW POLL finds that a majority of New Yorkers not only support legalizing marijuana but want it to include home cultivation and delivery services—and they welcome cannabis stores and grow operations in their own neighborhoods.

An end to the prohibition of cannabis in PA is overdue, the economic imperatives equal the moral mandate to correct damage that disparate enforcement of Marijuana laws has done throughout numerous communities. Visit #legalizepa #letsgrowpa #CannabisNews

The longer we wait, what cannabis policy looks like in PA will be heavily influenced by our neighbors. If we fail to pass adult use, we stand to lose billions in tax revenue while creating a legal quagmire for PA residents who partake in the market. #legalizeit #letsgrowpa

In 86 days, New Jersey will vote to fully legalize marijuana. In PA, we will send you to prison for 2.5 years with *any* number of plants, label you a felon for life, + fine you. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but *maybe* it’s time we figure out cannabis in PA.
