Pennsylvania

The Super Bowl would probably prefer to not have anything to do with cannabis, but the cannabis industry and football are destined to work together.

It seems that Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf has had a substantial change of heart in regards to the legalization of cannabis after a tweet he sent out on Wednesday.

Tom Wolf doesn’t think Pennsylvania “is ready for recreational marijuana,” he said to KDKA Radio this week.

As of August 1, Pennsylvanians with medical marijuana cards were able to purchase dried buds for the first time.

The legislation he plans to introduce will expunge criminal records and release those jailed who otherwise would not be under the proposed new law.

Momentum toward legalization grew in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Missouri last week. Find out more in our weekly marijuana legislative roundup.

Governor Tom Wolf announced this week that eight medical schools—including the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and Penn State College of Medicine—have been approved by the state to conduct medical marijuana research.

Let this be a lesson for every underachieving child who recycles the cliché baking soda volcano at their school’s science fair.

Police officer Bill Meyers and K9 officer Rex were responsible for apprehending 80 grams of marijuana—and four mysterious bags of chips.

Less than two weeks after Pennsylvania introduced a new medical marijuana program, two of the state's dispensaries ran out of inventory.
