Pa. House vote on medical marijuana could be soon
HARRISBURG - After years of discussion, Pennsylvania lawmakers appear poised to cast a historic vote next week that could legalize medical marijuana.
As soon as Monday, legislators in the House could vote on a measure, already approved by the Senate and backed by Gov. Wolf, that would allow the drug to be administered to patients suffering from conditions including cancer, post-traumatic stress disorder, and epilepsy.
Still, supporters and detractors alike cautioned that many hurdles remained, including the potential for adding dozens of amendments, many of which were still being crafted Thursday and some of which could alter key portions of the legislation.
Lawmakers on both sides have been hopeful for months that the drug could be legalized for medicinal purposes before year's end.
