🌿✨ We had an amazing time at the PCF! Despite the storm, we connected with our community and handed out over 500+ educational materials covering important topics like current legislation, DUI rights, Second Amendment rights, the h**p ban, rescheduling, and local wins.

As proud advocates who helped pass the decriminalization ordinance, the medical ma*****na bill, and an ordinance to protect medical ma*****na patients’ rights in Pittsburgh, witnessing this event grow every year is truly inspiring. Together, we ARE creating a safer and more informed community. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table and supported the cause! 💚 We love yinz! 🖤💛

The upcoming h**p ban raises significant concerns for farmers and businesses that depend on this versatile crop.

Instead of outright destruction, we need sensible regulations that ensure safety and quality while allowing the industry to thrive.

By implementing regulations, we can protect consumers and support innovation without sacrificing the potential benefits of h**p for our economy and environment.

Politicians should push for a balanced approach that prioritizes growth and safety! 🌱

NORML's Paul Armentano's letter to the editor debunking some common "re**er madness" myths.

From its onset, ma*****na prohibition advocates have sought to advance their agenda by sensationalizing the supposed strength of cannabis. Dan Bartkowiak’s op-ed (“Pursuing the truth on ma*****na means looking beyond partisan talking points,” Aug. 4, TribLive) is more of the same.....
