HARRISBURG – Two PA House Democrats are introducing legislation to legalize recreational marijuana. The bill from Philadelphia County Rep. Rick Krajewski and Allegheny County Rep. Dan Frankel include clearing criminal records and advancing restorative justice for those impacted by marijuana-related offenses; reinvesting revenues into communities harmed by the war on drugs; implementing protections, including THC limits, marketing restrictions, and child safety measures; and creating pathways for diverse and local entrepreneurs to participate in the regulated market, with priority on licensing and contracting. The PA House Health Committee is expected to take up the legislation soon. Opponents to legalization express concerns over addiction, health, and driving risks. They point to the website truthonweed.com for information and data on recreational marijuana use.
