On Wednesday, March 16th, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives voted to approve a bill to legalize Medical Marijuana, 143 – 43. Originally cosponsored by State Sen. Daylin Leach (D-Montgomery/Delaware) and State Sen. Mike Folmer (R-Lebanon) and approved last year by the State Senate, Pennsylvania will become the 23rd state in the United State to approve Medical Marijuana as Governor Wolf has already stated that he will sign the bill into law.
