Cannabis prohibition doesn’t work and is a public health crisis, according to State Rep. Arvind Venkat (D-Allegheny).
Venkat is the only emergency room doctor to serve in the Pennsylvania General Assembly and he told the media how tobacco and alcohol have more of a public health impact than cannabis use.
Pennsylvania House Democrats on Wednesday passed House Bill 1200, which would legalize cannabis for adults over 21.
The bill calls for cannabis sales through the state’s liquor store system. It caps THC concentration in flower products at 25% and THC concentration in edibles to 5 milligrams per serving and 25 milligrams per package.
