I’m all for commonwealth-regulated, legal, “recreational” marijuana use by all Pennsylvanians over the age of 21 (including law enforcement officers). Such change will provide significantly increased tax revenue for our commonwealth, significantly reduce burdens to our legal system (and its taxpayers) and expand personal “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” for responsible Pennsylvanians.
It also helps to keep legal, “medicinal” cannabis out of the hands of young people under 21 (in whose developing minds the use of THC poses the greatest neurocognitive and mental health risks). And, it reduces the likelihood that Pennsylvania’s citizens will be exposed to the “illegally bought cartridges” of THC oil that have been causing the recent “public health crisis” in our state and nationally.
