Lancaster Republican Lawmakers will likely reject recreational marijuana proposals, but a local Democrat says ‘the time for legalization is now’

Supporters of legalizing recreational marijuana use say the introduction of several bills this session in the Legislature hints at progress in their efforts. Still, many legislators from Lancaster County will likely oppose any marijuana-related bills brought to a vote.

One who supports approving adult use of marijuana, state Rep. Izzy Smith-Wade-El, supported reduced penalties for marijuana possession when he served on Lancaster City Council and now hopes to reform marijuana policy statewide.

Republicans Scott Martin and Ryan Aument do not support recreational use.
