Daylin Leach, D-Montgomery, and Larry Farnese, D-Philadelphia, have introduced legislation to permit the adult possession and retail sale of marijuana. The measure permits adults to privately possess marijuana without penalty and to cultivate up to six plants - no more than three mature - - for non-commercial purposes. Not-for-profit transactions involving small quantities of marijuana would also be permitted. Pittsburgh NORML supports this bill and is looking forward to hearings and the passage of this historic legislation in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
