AI Summary
This bill establishes a comprehensive framework for cannabis regulation in Pennsylvania, creating a Cannabis Control Board to oversee the legal cannabis market. The bill allows adults 21 and older to purchase and possess cannabis, with possession limits of 30 grams of cannabis flower, up to 1,000 milligrams of THC in edible products, and 5 grams of cannabis concentrate. The legislation creates a Cannabis Regulation Fund to manage revenue from cannabis sales, with funds allocated to the board's operations, drug prevention programs, and local law enforcement. The bill also includes provisions for medical cannabis patients, establishes licensing for cannabis businesses (including cultivation centers, dispensaries, and micro cultivation centers), and creates a "clean slate" process to expunge certain cannabis-related criminal records. Key provisions include strict regulations for cannabis businesses, requirements for product testing and packaging, restrictions on advertising, and protections for patients and businesses. The bill aims to create a structured, regulated cannabis market that balances public safety, economic opportunities, and social equity concerns, while providing access to cannabis for both adult-use and medical purposes.
