STAY INFORMED HOW WE VOTED CONTACT ME THANKS TO YOU, WE'RE ONE STEP

CLOSER TO LEGALIZATION I want to thank all of you who signed my petition to legalize adult-use cannabis in Pennsylvania. Because of you, we’re one step closer to:

ending the injustice – including the deeply unfair racial impact – brought about by uneven enforcement of a law that destroys people’s lives;

securing as much as $580 million annually in new tax revenue for the commonwealth;

saving taxpayers millions in enforcement, prosecution and other criminal justice costs;

making the commonwealth safer by freeing up law enforcement to fight serious crime and ending the prohibition that fuels organized crime;

adding a lucrative new cash crop for the state’s farmers;

expunging criminal records for cannabis-related convictions that would have been considered lawful under the act; and

changing perceptions by ending use of the negative term “marijuana” – which began with anti-immigration propaganda in the 1930s – and replacing it with the actual plant name, “cannabis.”

On Monday I will introduce my legalization bill — H.B. 50 — in the Pennsylvania legislature.



This bill is the result of a deliberative, collaborative effort by a wide group of stakeholders that include the Keystone Cannabis Coalition, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, the Marijuana Policy Project and the thousands of citizens like you who’ve signed my petition.



I also want to thank the following state Representatives who have signed on as co-sponsors to this bill: Summer Lee; Joe Ciresi; Dan Frankel; Mark Rozzi; Dan K. Williams; Ryan Bizzarro; Brian Kirkland; Jordan Harris; Christopher Rabb; Joanna McClinton; Stephen Kinsey; Danilo Burgos; Malcolm Kenyatta; Brian Sims; Mary Jo Daley; Donna Bullock; Maureen Madden; Jeanne McNeill; Ed Gainey; Carol Hill-Evans; Kevin Boyle; Jared Solomon; Rosita Youngblood; Mary Louise Isaacson; and Austin Davis.



With your continued support, we can get H.B. 50 passed and bring a brighter chapter to the commonwealth. But we can’t do it alone. We need your help.
