HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania’s governor says it’s time for the state to consider whether to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes.

Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf made the comment Wednesday.

Wolf says “more and more states are successfully implementing marijuana legalization,” and Pennsylvania should learn from their efforts.

The governor says such a change will require action by the Republican-majority legislature.

Wolf’s Twitter post says “it is time for Pennsylvania to take a serious and honest look at recreational marijuana.”

Wolf signed Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana law in 2016.
