Pennsylvania needs to pass a fair adult recreational use marijuana bill now. Tax revenue is dwindling when we most need it. Legalizing Marijuana will also lower interactions between law enforcement and those in our over policed communities. It will also keep more people from being put in jail during this pandemic. 

Senate Bill 350, introduced by State Sen. Daylin Leach, D-Montgomery/Delaware, and Sen. Sharif Street, D-Philadelphia, has been referred to as the “Gold Standard” of progressive marijuana legislation. “Les Stark, director of the Keystone Cannabis Coalition, a nonprofit advocacy organization with a statewide membership base. “It prioritizes the cannabis consumer and corrects some serious social justice problems. If it passes, it could become the gold standard legalization bill for the free world.”

Now is the time for marijuana reform.
