“Pennsylvanians are already purchasing it legally just over the bridge in New Jersey and from other neighboring states,” the senator says. “A 2023 Muhlenberg College poll shows over 60% of Pennsylvanians support legalizing adult-use cannabis. It’s time to legalize adult-use cannabis here safely and with broad opportunities for diverse businesses.”  (4/20/25)

In a statement released on Art Hayord's website, he says:

"I am in full support of the legalization of marijuana for medicinal purposes. I have heard from many parents of sick children, cancer patients and other individuals whose illnesses are made easier to bear thanks to medical marijuana. These testimonies, coupled with the potential for job opportunities, make it clear to me that legalization of medical marijuana was a compassionate and correct step for the state of Pennsylvania." 4/28/17
