House Bill 1200 would allow cannabis to be sold from state-run stores, much like liquor and wine have traditionally been sold in Pa.
The Pennsylvania State Senate Law and Justice Committee voted down a bill that would have legalized recreational marijuana for adults 21 and older, with a vote of 7-4. The bill, proposed by Senators Sharif Street and Dan Laughlin, aimed to establish a regulated market for cannabis, impose a 12% excise tax, and allocate tax revenue towards various state programs.
