when Pennsylvania approves medical marijuana???

It seems were close to a win in pa, with senate passing sb3 at 40-7. Now its up to the house.

I was somewhat disappointed with the limiting scope of the bill but there is an amendment to review and broaden the scope for qualifying patients annually. Its better than being considered a criminal though, pa has very harsh laws.

now it's very clear that there is a huge market waiting here, I believe our population is 23+ million, so we're roughly 10 percent of the country,also the third biggest state I believe.

Now there's undeniably a lucriative market waiting here, we don't have $200 ounces, more like $300 for some beasters. I see the dank and top shelf headdies go for $350. People pay it, and supply is scarice. Plus our electric rate is well below average, I pay 9.9¢ per kWh, delivered.

So my question is, what is sb3 all about and how will all of this work?

(I know it's hard to say for sure as every state is different also as laws and enforcement vary, I just would like some common knowledge)

It all seems gray.

Do dispencarys usually buy off anybody?

How do most state licensed grows work? App fees and plant counts?

Should I go to psych now, so my "PTSD" is documented for my mmj card?

If I have multiple residences, can I have "6" plants at each home?

I guess what I'm asking is for some basic info and made mistakes that you would have done differently, let me know...

Don't sweat those questions. The bill died in a house committee.

Lol...the bill was not for the patients at all, but for the greedy as usual. You can forget about home growing in pa. And most all eastern states that do pass a bill in the near future.

Lol dude thinks he's gonna be able to take over the east coast market when he couldnt even find the search button.

The bill is not dead yet. There's a rep who has moved to discharge it from committee, essentially he's trying to force it to the floor for a vote. By the way, Matt Baker who chairs that committee and vowed to let the bill die, yah he gets his campaign funding from big pharma...

Friggin big pharma is involved already.

A Pennsylvania representative who has said he won't bring a medical marijuana bill up for a vote has become a target of marijuana activists on social media who say his opposition is being purchased by pharmaceutical companies.

A new mmj bill's been introduced, which limits the eligible conditions severely.

A spoke with my rep, who is pro legalization, and he states the GOP wants to pass something, regardless of quality or workability, so they don't have to revisit the issue.

We're also locked in a budget fight, so it's possible the mmj bill will get lost in the shuffle

My 2 cents on "Medical" Marijuana and why we shouldn't be pushing for it.
I fear that declaring any substance as "medicine" could delay the outright legalization of the substance. Here's why. I don't know of any other "medicine," or prescription drug, that is also used... ACCEPTABLY... by the general public a a recreational substance. Once something is a medicine it falls under different laws and legal entities to monitor it's distribution and use. Alcohol, being our only legal drug, is monitored under ATF, the Department Of Alcohol Tobacco And Firearms. Prescription medications are controlled and monitored by the DEA, Drug Enforcement Administration.
If Cannabis becomes mired in the bureaucracy of the DEA, it could be decades before you see it legal recreationally in the US on a widespread basis. If it were my decision, I would push for recreational legalization and then research and develop the medicinal argument and applications. I think it's an easier and smarter road.
Just my 2 cents. I'm willing to hear comments as to why I'm wrong. I like to learn. Peace.

I agree 100%. MMJ has failed and has been outmaneuvered, we just don't know it yet.

PA will get there eventually.. I'm hoping at least. This thing is a plant; Gov't propaganda made a plant sound like the Devil, and here we are.

There's no real pressure to move forward with anything in PA.

ATTENTION OP: READ THE BILL!!!!!

All your questions are answered. Youll be quite disappointed, the only reason the bill was written was to make residents THINK that they are working on a change.

Exactly. MMJ a lets them off the hook.

They need to keep the ball rolling and pass something. Then worry about everything else. Pass something.

That bill sucked in every way!!! Can't smoke it, 50k for a license! That's outrageous!!! It's probably best that it failed, that bill wasn't helping really helping patients.

In reality just to make money for a few, its out of HEALTH and into RULES.

My thought is that the goal is to pass a bill like this so they licenses can be sold to the highest bidder off the books. When a looser bill comes a few years down the road, they would already have a monopoly.

I think the goal was to make it as unworkable as possible.

Without ballot initiatives, PA isn't going to pass anything without the legislature changing hands, which isn't on tap for the foreseeable future.

Fed relegalization is our only hope, which means we have no hope

I think they should legalize the shit already alcohol is %100 legal and it kill 60;000 people a year its crazy Its a f**king plant

Pa wont have any type of legal weed EVER. the bill thats in the house is for oil only an no smoking, cause, god forbid anybody might smoke something. Like a poster above stated, only will go if made federally legal which by my guestamations, is not happening. Thats ok, ill continue to smoke an grow as much as i want, f' em
