Bucks County NORML

NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT! It's easier than ever 😎 Click this link to submit public comments in support of the rescheduling cannabis to Schedule III. We have a pre-made public comment that you can copy/paste - then, you can personalize it if you wish to provide even more evidence of how cannabis is not nearly as harmful as Schedule I and II substances.

Of course, we at NORML believe that cannabis should be completely descheduled so as to bring federal policy in harmony with state laws.

We're not asking you for money. We're not even asking for your email. This is us telling you that your voice is needed NOW!

Ma*****na Moment reports that the DEA is agreeing to reschedule ma*****na from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3 - following a President Joe Biden directed recommendation! Although we at NORML advocate for a total de-scheduling of cannabis, this historic step is the biggest change in ma*****na policy in the U.S. since the Nixon Administration invented the drug schedules.

Congratulations to all cannabis users! A new, freer nation is in the horizon!

If you get hurt on the job and medical ma*****na is your prescribed treatment, your workers compensation benefits must pay for your pot! Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

Ketamine, medical ma*****na appropriate injured worker treatments: Court - Business Insurance A Pennsylvania appellate court ruled Thursday that a workers compensation judge erred in determining that reimbursing an injured worker for medical ma*****na would subject an employer to federal prosecution.

BIG THANKS to Pennsylvania Cannabis Festival for providing Bucks County NORML with a table to discuss our ongoing efforts to legalize cannabis in Pennsylvania, as well as to educate Bucks Countians on the importance of this massive, imminent change to our budget and culture.

Special shoutout to Philly Dank for their GIANT METEOR of diamond budder! Freedom is JUST AROUND THE CORNER, Bucks County!

Full recording of hearing on ma*****na legalization yesterday, with the conversation this time centered on social justice and equity considerations for reform.

Decent bill introduced into the house!

Highlights of this bill:
1. Adults 21 and older could purchase, possess and gift up to 30 grams of cannabis.
The legislation would allow medical cannabis patients to grow up to five plants for personal therapeutic use, but adult-use consumers would not have a homegrow option.
2. Ma*****na products would be subject to an eight percent sales tax, and retailers would additionally need to pay a five percent excise tax on cannabis that it sells.
3. The tax revenue would go to a Cannabis Regulation Fund under the state treasury department. Tax dollars would cover administrative costs and then be distributed to municipalities that allow cannabis businesses to operate in their area and the state general fund to “provide economic relief to this Commonwealth.”
4. Marketing that targets youth would be prohibited and there would be “workplace requirements regarding ma*****na use for all those operating in good faith,” according to the sponsors’ press release.
5. The Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts would work with police to identify records for people with prior cannabis convictions and facilitate automatic expungements.
6. People who’ve been disproportionately impacted under criminalization and meet income requirements would be eligible for social and economic equity business licenses.
7. The measure would prioritize public safety, giving law enforcement the ability to “adjudicate” impaired driving and empower them to “eradicate” the illicit market.
8. While federal law prohibits people who use ma*****na from buying or owning fi****ms, the bill would provide state-level protections against losing gun rights over cannabis.
9. Possession or use of ma*****na by parents or guardians could not be used as the sole basis for adverse child custody actions.

Pretty nice summary by the Spotlight on the major players of this upcoming legalization drive in the PA Legislature.

Love the call-out for "home grow" in the House Bill.

Will PA legalize w**d? It depends on the Senate. Advocates for legal recreational ma*****na argue that Pennsylvania is being left behind as neighboring states embrace w**d.
