However, in 2017, the average daily dose of prescribed medical cannabis in Canada was 2.3 g,1 well in excess of this recommended maximum. The average concentration of THC prescribed has not been reported, but many of the industry’s cannabis products contain concentrations of THC that are far above the 9% recommended by the guidance document, with some containing concentrations of 20% or more. To discourage inappropriate prescribing, some US states have im...

Pennsylvania Medical Marijuana Card Service

Fast forward four years and the state leader is pushing to legalize recreational use, even using Twitter to get his message across in August 2020. Twitter is not the first time Gov. Wolf has shared his opinion on recreational cannabis, collaborating in 2019 with other East Coast Governors Andrew Cuomo and Ted Lamont at a Pot Summitt, which proposed legalizing recreational use collectively in the East Coast states. Meanwhile, according to a local Pittsburgh CBS station, Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman feels the same way. “It has been nearly a year since Governor Wolf and I urged the legislature to act on immediate decriminalization and start the discussion about legalization,” Lt.
