On Tuesday, the Pennsylvania Senate Law and Justice Committee rejected the marijuana legalization bill. The week that passed was a great success. By the House FOX43 reports. State Sen. Dan Laughlin (R), the committee chair, told FOX43 that while he supported some aspects of the proposal – such as the ban on public smoking and addressing DUI enforcement – he opposed the state-run dispensary system.Â
“The state acting like a buyer limits consumer choice and drives consumers to the legal markets in Maryland, New York New Jersey and Ohio.” — Laughlin to FOX43 Â
Losa Boscola of the State Senate (D), told FOX43, that “a better law” was needed.Â
If you can show me legislation that we could all support and pass through the Senate, then I am there to help with this matter,” said she.Â
The bill would have given direct control of retail cannabis sales to the state Liquor Control Board, which would have also been responsible for licensing cultivation, processing, transportation, and on-site consumption businesses – those operations could have been privately owned.Â
The legislation would have also set daily sales limits of 42.5 grams – which was also the legislation’s proposed legal possession limit for adults aged 21 and over. THC limit in edibles and flower was also capped to 25 percent.Â
