Governor Wolf Thanks Pennsylvanians For Massive Response On Recreational Cannabis

Pennsylvania governor Tom Wolf has expressed his appreciation to citizens for their overwhelming response to the lieutenant governor’s statewide listening tour and the online feedback form for determining public opinion on cannabis legalization.

Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman began a tour of all 67 Pennsylvania counties in mid-February to see if people agree with legalization or have recommendations.

“The response to the lieutenant governor’s listening tours has been tremendous, with people across the state making their voices heard,” said Wolf. “This is exactly the type of discussion I had hoped John would get—for, against, not sure. Everyone’s opinion is important and valued.”

“Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to attend an event or respond online. I appreciate your time and input, which are invaluable as we study this issue,” Wolf said.

Fetterman has held 18 listening tours in 17 counties so far with more than 50 more planned through June. There have been more than 21,000 responses using the online feedback form so far.

“I’m pleased that Pennsylvanians are taking the time to let us know their thoughts on the topic of legalizing adult-use marijuana,” said Governor Wolf. “It’s my hope that this level of interaction becomes the norm on issues important to Pennsylvanians.”

Wolf said that listening to everyone’s perspectives is the best way that the state can develop programs and policies. The next listening event will take place at Millersville University in Lancaster on Monday, March 18.
