(Harrisburg, PA) A bill stalled out in the state Senate which would have legalized marijuana in Pennsylvania. The vote was taken recently by the Justice Committee and Senate Law, and it was voted 7-3 to not let Governor Josh Shapiro sign it. The bill passed at the Pennsylvania House last week so Pennsylvanians twenty-one years old or over could legally buy marijuana. This was also the first instance where a bill for recreational marijuana got approval from any chamber in Pennsylvania.
