PA Senate passes MMJ bill [View all]

40-7. The Senator representing the 'burg where I grew up voted against it. Naturally. Idiot.

My friend in Philly who was very active on this told me last night that they got an amendment for vapor included yesterday. They also added in a few additional qualifying conditions. Not sure what the makeup of the current legislation is, but he said that it will likely be stripped back down to CBD-only oils and tinctures and only for children with Dravets when the house gets it. Blargle.

Here is a link I googled since my information is from email.

Congrats to the fine folks of PA! Here's hoping the house leaves it intact as it is a good start. I have been told that the governor will sign, so there is that.
