Senator Dan Laughlin News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

Last week, a top Pennsylvania Republican senator made a significant step toward amending the state's Uniform Firearms Act to conform with the legalization of medical cannabis. Sen. Dan Laughlin introduced previously announced Senate Bill 1146 on 2nd Amendment Day, a public awareness day observed on April 17. Even though the use of medical marijuana for specific conditions is considered legal in Pennsylvania, possessing a firearm is illegal at the federal level for those who admit to consuming cannabis. "My legislation will make sure a valid medical marijuana cardholder is no longer considered an unlawful marijuana user," Laughlin said in a memo. "Although marijuana remains illegal under federal law, we should be updating Pennsylvania's laws to ensure valid medical marijuana cardholders are not denied their rights."
