The Race Is On For Recreational Cannabis In Pennsylvania
Medical cannabis has grown in Pennsylvania to a much larger industry than in either of its neighbors to the north and east, but the decision to legalize it for recreational use could be the difference between a significant acceleration and a massive missed opportunity.
“It could significantly impede both short- and long-term revenue if we wait too long [to legalize recreational cannabis],” state Sen. Sharif Street told
Bisnow. “It also makes [keeping cannabis illegal] a little pointless if people cross state lines to get it, so we’re not accomplishing anything to prevent people from using it. We’ll probably also have an uptick in arrests as people bring it across state lines.”
