Senator Fetterman Rallies Support for Federal Marijuana Legalization

24 February 2025

Pennsylvania is on the brink of legalizing cannabis, with bipartisan lawmakers and Governor Josh Shapiro backing reform efforts. Meanwhile, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) has launched a national petition advocating for federal legalization, citing widespread public support. Shapiro’s budget proposal projects $1.3 billion in cannabis tax revenue, but concerns about high taxation remain. As the state moves closer to legalization, the impact on businesses, medical patients, and law enforcement is under scrutiny.
