State Rep Rick Krajewski (D-Philadelphia), who was the prime sponsor of House Bill 1200, a cannabis legalization bill, shared what he believes to be failures of the private cannabis industry after Senate Republicans voted the bill down in committee on Tuesday.

Pennsylvania House Democrats last week passed HB 1200, which seeks to legalize adult-use cannabis for those over the age of 21. The bill calls for selling cannabis through Pennsylvania’s state-owned liquor store system.
