A new bill introduced in Pennsylvania aims to require employers to reimburse injured workers for medical cannabis prescribed under the state’s medical marijuana program. Sponsored by Rep. David Delloso (D), the proposal would cover up to $250 per month and a maximum of $3,000 annually for qualifying patients, offering an alternative to opioids for pain management. “Injured workers deserve the most efficient, safe and affordable treatments available,” Delloso stated, citing the ongoing opioid crisis as motivation for the measure. The bill, now in the House Labor & Industry Committee, has support from several Democratic cosponsors. While movement on broader cannabis legalization remains stalled, bipartisan efforts persist amid Senate resistance. Recent polling indicates Pennsylvanians prefer licensed private sellers over state-run cannabis outlets. For more details, see the original article at Marijuana Moment.
