When a state legalizes adult-use cannabis, it is acknowledging that public interest has turned against the continued criminalization of cannabis. However, simply repealing the prohibition of cannabis is insufficient: millions of individuals across the U.S. still bear the lifelong burden of having a cannabis record, and tens of thousands are actively serving sentences for cannabis-related convictions. Pennsylvania has a tremendous opportunity to legalize adult-use cannabis and to do so while simultaneously creating processes that can provide retroactive relief for individuals that have been criminalized during prohibition.
