So it looks pretty good for medical marijuana although, they still are archaically limiting how you can take it.
(pill, oil, and liquid form which IMO do not provide the same results).


With recent decriminalization in the city, and the state finally stepping slightly away from the fed here, is it just a matter of time before it becomes legal for recreational ?

PA is historically uptight and overbearing so it would surprise me being anything but one of the last dozen or so states sometime in 2070 to legalize recreational marijuana.

If you are a parent and your 18 year old or whatever the age will be kid smokes week all the time, you have to be okay with that if you support full legalization, correct?

Personally, I am okay with legalizing it. I also think heroin addicts should be able to get their fix from the government, but should be in a program to slowly get them off that mess.

I don't think PA will have full legalization yet, but I do think it will happen at some point. That is a lot of revenue. Legalizing pot won't do anything for the violence in the streets though. I think that is more about heroin and other hard core drugs.

no more than today's parents have to be okay with their 18yo drinking every day.

Agreed. If it came down to it, I would be more worried about alcohol and prescription pain killers than cannabis.

Seems people are forgetting one tiny detail. Drinking in moderation has been proven to be healthy.

Countless studies on this AND you interview any 100+ year olds and most all of them drink.

7 Health Benefits Of Drinking Alcohol

There may be some benefits to pot, but I don't think you are going to see piles of people living over 100 years of age smoking weed. JMHO.

So you are comparing underage, serious abuse of one thing..

vs severe moderation/happenstance/ of another.
