http://www.abc27.com/story/22853100/pa-governor-hopeful-wants-legal-marijuana A Democratic challenger to Governor Tom Corbett says Pennsylvania should reform its marijuana laws.John Hanger said medicinal marijuana should be permitted, and penalties for possessing small amounts of marijuana should be reduced to a summary offense similar to a traffic ticket by 2015.He said Pennsylvania should regulate and tax marijuana use by 2017.Hanger announced his plan during a news conference at the state Capitol.He said Pennsylvania is spending $325 million a year prosecuting non-violent people for possessing marijuana, when regulating and taxing marijuana could bring the state at least $24 million a year.Hanger was secretary of the state Department of Environmental Protection for three years under Governor Ed Rendell. He is among a field of Democrats seeking the gubernatorial nomination next year.The other candidates are U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz, former Revenue secretary Tom Wolf, former DEP secretary Kathleen McGinty, Lebanon County commissioner Jo Ellen Litz, and Mechanicsburg minister Max Myers. State Treasurer Rob McCord is also exploring a bid.
He’s got my vote!!!! :weed-sign: :weed-sign:
hes gonna do great things for pa. funds for schooling, getting retired military people jobs, helping people get jobs, helping the 100,000 people that need Medicare get it.theres a list of things this guy is going to do just look his name up he definately got my vote honestly I could care less about legalization im fine with it being decriminalize. last thing I need is some government cannabis that has GMOs and is taxed like crazy. if its legalized ill grow my own cause I can’t trust government weed. either way ill smoke it legal or illegal fuck em :weedspin
He doesnt have my vote. MJ should be legal, period. This guy is just playing Obummer and saying whatever he thinks will get him elected. Another lying P.O.S. career politician folks.
I’m with Ngls,
Thing is even if the dude wins, as Governor he doesn’t have the power to make it so.
In AZ it has taken the people’s vote to pass the medical marijuana initiative. Three times
over the years the initiative was approved by the voters, each time an anti legalization Gov
was in power, but the last time the initiative was approved & the pos Gov had no choice but
to allow the Will of the People to take place. Now it has gone so far along that the AZ Supreme
Court recently re-affirmed the appeals court ruling that the Yuma, AZ Sheriff Must Return the Medical
MJ that he confiscated from a cali woman who had her MM card, at the time he illegal took her meds!
Can it get sweeter??
We will see. I have no faith in the process of a state making MJ leagal when the federal laws supercede he state laws. The feds are enforcing the federal prohibition.
Obummer sucks. We really needed Ron Paul, I hope we at least get Rand Paul.
Preach!
