Recreational marijuana: Pa. Gov. Tom Wolf calls for legalizing pot


As more and more states decriminalize marijuana use and even some states rolling  back criminal convictions the governor of Pennsylvania wants to reverse ‘weed’ laws as it relates to nonviolent convictions.

In a news conference Wednesday, Wolf called for legislation to eliminate criminal charges for nonviolent acts involving small amounts of cannabis and expunge the records of those previously convicted.

Wolf also wants the General Assembly to begin serious debate on legalizing regulated recreational marijuana for adults.

“I said in the past that I didn’t know if Pennsylvania was ready for this,” Wolf said. “I believe Pennsylvania is ready for this.”

The governor points to a 93-day tour that took Lt. Gov. John Fetterman to all 67 counties in the state to discuss recreational marijuana.
