PITTSBURGH (NewsRadio 1020 KDKA) – Although medical marijuana is now legal in Pennsylvania, Gov. Tom Wolf says that doesn’t mean it’s a pathway to full legalization.
“This is not a gateway to anything other than…reinforcing what we’ve always done and that is allow doctors, encourage doctors, to do what they can do to make the lives of their patients more comfortable,” Wolf told the “KDKA Morning News.”
It is expected to take 18-24 months to implement the medical marijuana programs, but Gov. Wolf says relief should start long before that.
“People should be able to start using these medicines quickly…If someone were to go to another state and buy it legally and bring it back for medicinal purposes, I kind of doubt that most prosecutors would pursue a case,” said Wolf.
