Legalize marijuana now: There are no good reasons left for locking people up
York Dispatch
York Dispatch Editorial Board
How do you know it's time to legalize marijuana?
When a former U.S. marshal who votes with the Republicans on virtually every other issue comes around on the issue.
State Sen. Mike Regan is about as conservative as it gets — and even he's planning to introduce a bill that would allow for the recreational use of pot for those 21 and older.
A lot has changed in recent years.
Gov. Tom Wolf once vehemently opposed it but gradually evolved into an enthusiastic proponent. Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, now running for the Senate, went on a highly publicized listening tour. Meanwhile, a recent Muhlenberg College poll found a record number — 58% — of respondents supporting legalization.
