It has to happen soon. I was in Easton a few weeks back and literally walked across a bridge, into NJ into a dispensary. We’re letting millions of tax dollars just flow into our neighboring states. Fuck partisan bullshit, both sides of the scale like money, and weed is where the money is at.

They make billions on alcohol... The PLCB is the largest purchaser of alcohol in the US. It's an uphill battle.

For a lot of reasons that I'd rather not get into this would be a terrible idea..

Although… the more I think about… the more I can’t really see any huge issues with it 🤷🏼‍♂️ Already state run ✅ Already used to having purchasers over 21 with ID verification ✅ Tons of Locations already established ✅

I don’t know, doesn’t seem horrible. Plus if they’re doing ID verification before entering, we cut down on underage alcohol sales too. Curious what negatives there could actually be, besides obvious crowding issues.

Agree, it seems like a win-win. Ofc it will be taxed like crazy, but prices are already real high for rec in NJ by private dispensaries

And now Maryland just approved recreational via ballot measure. And the US House is poised to hold a hearing next week to work on ending federal marijuana prohibition. PA needs to read the tea leaves on this and stop leaving money on the table.

Exactly. In the Southeast and people literally have 3 legal states they can go to, while PA twiddle it's fingers

Not just weed but crystal and H need to be legal too. Lots of tainted trash I’ve seen come through here with the drugs being legal they can be produced safely and ethically and sold at certain dispensaries. The amount of fentanyl and filthy crystal that has been pouring in from across the boarder is disgusting we are literally feeding the cartel and Americans lives are being lost for it.
