A proposal that would legalize the recreational use of marijuana advanced out of the Pennsylvania House Health Committee along party lines on Monday.
House Bill 1200, sponsored by Rep. Rick Krajewski (D-Philadelphia), would include a number of reforms to marijuana policy, including allowing the purchase of marijuana for recreational use by those 21 years and older, mainly through publicly owned stores overseen by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board.
Krajewski said the proposal creates a "balanced, responsible, and robust framework to legalize and regulate" cannabis use by adults. He crafted the legislation along with Pennsylvania House Health Committee Chairman Dan Frankel (D-Allegheny).
