The Republican candidate running for Pennsylvania governor doesn’t think lawmakers will ever approve a bill to legalize marijuana in the state—but she says that if they did send her legislation to end cannabis prohibition, she would veto it.
“I don’t support legalizing recreational marijuana,” Stacy Garrity, currently the state treasurer, said in an interview with NBC10 Philadelphia.
“Recreational marijuana will not end up in the budget,” she said. “They’re never going to pass it…not as long as Senate Republicans are in control of the Senate.”
When asked by the NBC10 reported if she would veto such a bill, Garrity said, “yes.”
The Pennsylvania Democratic Party argued that Garrity’s cannabis comments provide another reason to defeat Republicans at the ballot box in November.
“Stacy Garrity opposes legalizing recreational marijuana in Pennsylvania—and made it clear she’s counting on Republicans controlling Harrisburg to keep blocking it,” the party said in a social media post. “We need to beat her—and elect Democrats up and down the ballot to finally get this done.”
