A new bill proposed in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives represents the latest effort to legalize recreational marijuana in the commonwealth.
The bipartisan HB 2500, with Representatives Emily Kinkead (D-Allegheny) and Aaron Kaufer (R-Luzerne) serving as primary sponsors, aims to provide a framework that could pass both the Democratic controlled House and the Republican controlled Senate.
“What we’re hoping to be is really a gold standard for what legalization can and should look like nationwide,” Rep. Kinkead told FOX43. “This bill basically takes all of the previous attempts as well as information from what we’ve seen that works in other states, that doesn’t work in other states, and puts it all together in one bill.”
