PA State Senate will not consider potential House bill for legal medical pot.

[old mark]

New Jersey will see legal medical pot, taxed, controlled and sold similar to alcohol. There is a bill in the neighboring PA State House of Reps to do the same here in PA, but the Senate has already stated it would not consider voting on it if it passed the House.
Legal medical pot users who cross to PA WITH THEIR medicine may face arrest and prison.

I have been emailing my State Rep supporting the House bill in PA, and will start on the Senators when the House bill looks like it may succeed.

2. If the states next to us are passing this legislation,

why can't PA even consider it?

3. We have a lot of very conservative "religious" republicans in our

somewhat blue state, and they have much more political clout than they should have. The next 2 elections will be very important, not only at the national level, but here in PA. We must support REAL Democrats, get some of the 'Publicans out of office.
