With just over one month left in the legislative session, political activists are in the final push to get their issues passed into law–including marijuana activist and executive director of Lehigh Valley NORML Jeff Riedy.
“It’s very important that it’s legalized so we can properly regulate it and so people have access to a safe product,” Riedy said, warning of the dangers of consumers purchasing marijuana off the street. Which is why he spends his days encouraging education among lawmakers.
The Lehigh Valley chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws planned to host a rally on the steps of the Pennsylvania State Capitol building on Tuesday before it was canceled due to rain. But Riedy says the event wasn’t a total wash.
