Lt. Gov. John Fetterman will make a stop in Lancaster on Monday as part of his statewide “listening tour” on the possibility of legalizing recreational marijuana.

During Fetterman’s tour, proponents have cited the potential for additional tax revenue and the lessening of convictions for minor drug offenses as well as the potential health benefits of marijuana.

Opponents have questioned the health benefits of the drug while worrying about the wisdom of making potentially harmful drugs more acceptable to children. Plus, there’s the issue that marijuana is still illegal under federal law.

A 2017 poll by Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster found that 59 percent of those Pennsylvanians surveyed supported the legalization of marijuana use. That was up from just 22 percent in a 2006 Franklin and Marshall College poll.
