Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf is making another push for the legalization of recreational marijuana.Wolf visited Monroe County Tuesday morning to talk about the potential for economic growth and the restorative justice benefits of legalizing adult-use cannabis.He urged state lawmakers to take up the issue.“This year, I again went to the General Assembly and asked them to make legalizing adult-use cannabis a priority for the fall as we work to find ways to overcome the economic hardships of the COVID-19 pandemic.
