Pennsylvania lawmakers are grappling with recreational marijuana legalization as part of Governor Josh Shapiros budget proposal for fiscal year 2026-2027. The plan anticipates $729 million in new revenue, but a key issue is determining which state agency should regulate it. Republican Senator Dan Laughlin advocates for a new Cannabis Control Board, while Democratic Representative Dan Frankel supports the state Liquor Control Board. Opposition remains due to potential health risks and costs, but neighboring states legalization pressures Pennsylvania to act, with lawmakers showing openness to compromise.
