Too bad voters in PA can get a referendum and put weed on the ballot and ask the voters for yes or no vote like the did on Ohio. That power is left up to the State Legislature. Which they won't do until Dems take control of both houses. 

Matter of time.  The State is nearly surrounded now and ultimately won't be able to say no to the tax income.

WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden announced Friday he's issuing a federal pardon to every American who has used marijuana in the past, including those who were never arrested or prosecuted.

 

The sweeping pardon applies to all U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents in possession of marijuana for their personal use and those convicted of similar federal crimes. It also forgives pot users in the District of Columbia. It does not apply to individuals who have been jailed for selling the drug, which is illegal under federal law, or other marijuana offenses such as driving under the influence of an illegal substance.

About F'ing time. Talk about a low-hanging fruit FFS. Now get off your old pasty white ass and deschedule it altogether, Joseph.

Nice!  Now we won't have to falsify their votes in the next election!

Somehow I missed it but Germany voted to legalize about a month ago effective April 1.  Special shops will be permitted sometime after the summer.

the fact that PA, which is one of the biggest drug dealers in the world, has an issue with competition, should be a huge red flag to everyone, but .....

It's official.  As of today, weed is legal in Germany.  It won't be sold in stores until later in the year but it is now legal to consume and possess.

Is there any restriction on the amount?

It is already legal in Virginia to possess and use.  I assume you are talking about retail sales for recreational use, correct?

Yes, and I don't remember exactly.  I think it is 25g for personal possession and then there is some limit to growing as well but I don't remember what.

Virginia GOP Governor Vetoes Marijuana Sales Legalization Bill, Along With Separate Measure To Resentence Prior Cannabis Convictions

https://www.marijuanamoment.net/virginia-gop-governor-vetoes-marijuana-sales-legalization-bill/

After sending messages for months that he had no interest in moving forward with Democratic-led plans to legalize retail marijuana sales in Virginia, Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) has now formally vetoed legal sales legislation sent to him by lawmakers about a month ago along with a separate bill to provide resentencing relief for people convicted of past cannabis crimes.

In a veto message issued on Thursday, the governor wrote that "the proposed legalization of retail marijuana in the Commonwealth endangers Virginians’ health and safety.”

"States following this path have seen adverse effects on children’s and adolescent’s health and safety, increased gang activity and violent crime, significant deterioration in mental health, decreased road safety, and significant costs associated with retail marijuana that far exceed tax revenue,” he claimed. "It also does not eliminate the illegal black-market sale of cannabis, nor guarantee product safety. Addressing the inconsistencies in enforcement and regulation in Virginia’s current laws does not justify expanding access to cannabis, following the failed paths of other states and endangering Virginians’ health and safety.”

 

Regarding the resentencing bill, the governor wrote: "This bill grants eligibility to a significant number of violent felons who have already received a full and fair hearing.” Other eligible individuals, he said, would include people incarcerated for other manufacturing or distributing other drugs, including fentanyl.

"Now is not the time to allow an imprudent resentencing process that undermines public safety,” Youngkin said.

Yeah, so the retail part.

Yeah but thats just Kensington

Tried bribing people with student loan debt, hasn’t helped, Biden is still hemorrhaging young people. I wouldn’t be surprised if federal decriminalization, or even legalization, is soon floated out of desperation.
