Recreational cannabis could soon be coming to the Keystone State. That’s if Pennsylvania lawmakers Daylin Leach and Sharif Street can muster enough support for their latest proposal. The state senators introduced Senate Bill 350 on Oct. 15. The bill would allow for both home delivery and the automatic expungement of many previous criminal convictions related to marijuana.

Gov. Tom Wolf recently changed his position, announcing he now supports legalization. Just days after the bill was introduced, Wolf met with Gov. Andrew Cuomo (New York), Gov. Phil Murphy (New Jersey), and Gov. Ned Lamont (Connecticut) to discuss coordinating marijuana across the Northeast.
