Pennsylvania is being told ma*****na legalization is about “freedom” and “revenue.”
This op-ed tells the truth about what it’s really about.
From sky-high THC potency, to products that mimic children’s candy, to rising addiction and mental health harms, the evidence is clear: commercial ma*****na is a public health risk—especially for kids and vulnerable communities.
Governor Shapiro says nothing is more important than investing in children and mental health. But expanding access to high-octane THC while funding government with addiction isn’t compassion. It’s contradiction.
Pennsylvania doesn’t need to “get stuff done.” We need to get the right things done; policies rooted in public health, accountability, and the common good.
Swipe through to get the facts.
And speak up before Pennsylvania follows states that are already paying the price.
