Pennsylvania to Legalize Medical Marijuana

In response to the many calls for action from families of patients dealing with severe and debilitating disorders, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives put their seal of approval on the latest version of Senate Bill 3, sending it to the office of Governor Tom Wolf for a signature. The governor, who has been pushing for the state legislature to approve medical marijuana for the past year, now has 10 days to sign the bill into law. He is expected to act without hesitation. It was announced earlier this week that the Senate approved a recently amended House version of the bill, but only after making a few minor adjustments. There was some concern, however, that these minor tweaks in the language could sabotage the chances of the program seeing the light of day in 2016.
