A bill legalizing recreational marijuana in Pennsylvania is circulating the state Senate. Senator Daylin Leach and Senator Sharif Street are looking for cosponsors of Senate Bill 350, which would allow anyone 21 and older to use marijuana. The measure would also allow homes to grow up to six marijuana plants at a time for personal use. However, using marijuana in public would be prohibited in this proposal.
A federal lawsuit says Pennsylvania State Police acted recklessly when troopers used a bulldozer to pursue a 51-year-old Grateful Dead fan caught growing marijuana on public land, killing him when he wound up under the machine’s treads. Greg Longenecker’s family says state police had no business chasing him with a dangerous piece of machinery _ especially over a few pot plants he was cultivating for personal use. Police aren’t commenting.
Former Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke is making a presidential primary campaign stop in Pennsylvania on his way from Ohio to the early voting state of New Hampshire. O’Rourke, a Democrat, will appear Tuesday morning at Penn State’s Hetzel Union Building for a meet-and-greet at the center of student activity at the school. After narrowly losing to a Senate bid in November, O’Rourke is garnering larger crowds and more media attention than most others in the already crowded 2020 Democratic field.
