This past weekend, Pittsburghers had a lot to celebrate. Easter, Passover, and of course, the other high holy day: 4/20. And we like to think that some of our state lawmakers got in on the fun too! A couple of representatives, including Pittsburgh rep. Emily Kinkead, wrote a new memo about how recreational cannabis could get legalized. This debate over legalization has come up over and over again here in Pennsylvania, so we're revisiting host Megan Harris' conversation with SpotlightPA reporters Ed Mahon and Stephen Caruso to figure out the political climate, the potential hurdles, and exactly how cannabis sales could even work. **This episode originally aired on January 27, 2025.

Recreational cannabis is now legal to purchase in nearly all of our neighboring states. Can 2025 be the year that Pennsylvania decides to fully legalize as well? We're turning to SpotlightPA reporters Ed Mahon and Stephen Caruso to figure out the political climate, the potential hurdles, and exactly how cannabis sales could even work. Like, would it mirror Pennsylvania's centralized alcohol sales? What would happen to the state's medical program? And if legalization isn't on the table just yet, could we expect to see any decriminalization efforts underway?

The 2024 election brought a lot of change, and not just for high-level Republicans. In a handful of states, there were also citizen-led initiatives in consideration, too. They're sometimes called ballot questions or voter referendums, and they're one way regular people can go around their lawmakers to pass things like recreational cannabis, abortion protections, a higher minimum wage, and more. They literally give power to the people. But those paths aren't available to us here in Pennsylvania. Today we're talking about why. Special thanks to reporter Ed Mahon of Spotlight PA for sharing his wisdom on this one.  If you enjoyed today's interview with Alterations Express Marketing Manager, Jen Rondinelli, learn more here.

The opioid crisis has rocked Western PA, devastating our friends, neighbors and families. Now, companies like Walmart, Johnson & Johnson, and others that made, sold or distributed prescription painkillers have been ordered to pay $50 billion over 18 years to deal with the damage. Pennsylvania is supposed to eventually get more than a billion of that. But how that money will be spent — and who exactly gets to decide – is still in flux. Spotlight PA investigative reporter Ed Mahon and KFF Health News senior correspondent Aneri Pattani join us to share the latest and explain how members of the public can get involved. Want to learn more? Check out Ed and Aneri's reporting on public voices getting ignored in opioid settlement money decisions, Aneri's story about corporations benefiting from settlement money, and Ed's coverage of money going toward county prosecutors and coroners.

There's actually a good reason to visit Ohio now! We jest, but newly available recreational cannabis might make your to-do list. Now that our western neighbors will have expanded access, what should Pittsburgh expect? Are there lessons we can take from Philly, where residents can get to New Jersey, New York, or Maryland for anything they want? Will troopers be waiting for us at the border? And why, after months of open support, does Gov. Josh Shapiro's endorsement not mean more to the PA legislators who could codify cannabis here too? Spotlight PA reporter Ed Mahon is here with some answers and to remind us where we stand.

Pennsylvania is getting $1.6 billion in opioid settlement money over the next several years. It's supposed to help communities address addiction, but a long-standing state ban on some harm reduction practices could make it difficult to get anything done.

It's the Friday news roundup! Earlier this week, voters in Ohio codified access to abortion and recreational cannabis, and we wondered whether Pennsylvania could do the same. The answer is complicated. We've got an update on where the commonwealth is on the road to recreational cannabis legalization, plus a fun little airport update — Pittsburghers will soon be able to get flights to Iceland without a layover. A special thanks to City Cast's interim executive producer Marylee Williams — her first time on mic with us! — and Spotlight PA reporter Ed Mahon for sharing his cannabis reporting. We love to cite our sources! From the Inky, a look at how Ohio voters amended their state constitution The PA House recently considered cannabis again in a public hearing Ohio has more citizen-led direct democracy options PublicSource did a great explainer on constitutional amendments in PA Check out Ed's previous work on PA's efforts to raise the minimum wage  Prospects of legalization in PA have picked up—but there's still an open question about how the GOP-controlled Senate might approach reform if the opposite chamber delivered it a bill PA & West Virginia are the only states among our close neighbors to have not legalized now Starting in May 2024, Iceland Air is launching nonstop service to Reykjavík, Iceland.

Despite no mention of the COVID-19 pandemic in his budget address, Gov. Josh Shapiro's first spending plan includes a number of health-related priorities for the commonwealth, such as increasing appropriations for local health departments, along with funds to address maternal mortality and capitalize on potential future revenue from legalized adult-use marijuana.
