2014 PA Senate Voting Guide

Posted by KCC on Oct 21, 2014 in Blog

If any candidates position on medical marijuana is known it is indicated. Keep in mind that a ‘Yes’ on MMJ alone is not enough for us to endorse someone, unless we know their opponent is against it. Nor does a ‘yes’ on MMJ mean that we know their position on decrim or full legalization. In general the candidates we endorse support MMJ, hemp, decrim and are at least open to full legalization.

We urge everyone to take a moment and see if there is a race in your district and comment with what you know on the candidates’ positions so this can be updated and we can all help each other be informed voters.

If you are unsure which district you are in you can find it here.

KCC is such a hard working group of individuals! So proud of everything they have done and will continue to accomplish. And I LOVE their hemp soaps!

Our family Loves the Hemp Heritage soap for it's medicinal properties. My daughter suffers from Psoriasis and the combination of Hemp, Tea tree and Lemon essential oils helps ease the discomfort as well as making it less noticeable.

No matter what part of PA you live KCC has a footprint trying to advance opportunity for all that were seeking positive votes on Hemp or the struggle with MMJ to decrim inalization and eventually full legalization of cannabis. KCC knowledge has made it easier for many that did not know how hard the the challenge is. KCC was up for it. KCC doesnt ask for much, a few donations or purchase of mechaandise to continue the Education of our politicians and memebers. KCC is looking out for all of PA from corner to corner.

Thanks to KCC, PA will have industrial hemp next year! Erica and Les have made so many sacrifices to get this bill passed. I'm so happy for both of you. PA will be a better place thanks to your tireless efforts.

KCC is a driving force behind cannabis law reform in PA! Thanks to their dedicated leaders, they continue to build the necessary momentum to move toward toward eventual statewide legalization!

Les and Erica are the most dedicated, sincere, honest, hardworking people that have more passion and dedication to ending this senseless war on a plant than anyone i know. KCC is a wonderful organization that has and continues to help people here and across the nation.
