The state of Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana industry has announced it would support the creation of an adult use cannabis program.
The Pennsylvania Cannabis Coalition, a network of current growers and dispensary owners, endorsed the idea.
According to a 2017 Franklin and Marshall poll, almost 60 percent of Pennsylvania voters support legalization.
“Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana program is an unqualified success and has been the best state that’s ever had a program rollout,” said Andrew Blasco, the coalition’s executive director. “Our rate of registering patients has been better than any other across the country.”
According to Blasco, the coalition members are “enthusiastic” about the prospect of participating in an adult-use market.
The current medical marijuana dispensaries could easily transform into recreational outlets. “It would be like flipping a switch,” Blasco explained.
