Pennsylvania Lawmaker Has New Plan to Legalize Adult-Use Cannabis | Cannabis Law Report | How to buy Skittles Moonrock online

Sen. Marty Flynn intends to introduce the Keystone Cannabis Act, but he is first asking for co-sponsorship in the upper chamber.

State Sen. Marty Flynn, D-Scranton, asked his colleagues on May 21 to co-sponsor the Keystone Cannabis Act, legislation he plans to introduce in the aftermath of the Senate Law and Justice Committee rejecting a partisan House legalization bill the previous week.

Flynn circulated a memo outlining his plan to establish a regulatory framework for cultivation, distribution and retail sales to allow adults 21 years and older to access cannabis that’s tested and taxed in the commonwealth.

“This legislation represents a commonsense opportunity to modernize our cannabis laws by delivering lasting economic benefits to communities across the commonwealth while balancing individual liberty with public safety,” Flynn wrote. “Adults should be free to make their own decisions about cannabis use—just as they do with alcohol and tobacco—without unnecessary government interference.”

For Flynn’s forthcoming bill to gain meaningful traction in Pennsylvania’s GOP-controlled Senate, he’ll likely need to attract a Republican co-sponsor to champion the legislation.
