Cohen proposing medical-marijuana bill in Pa. House
HARRISBURG - State Rep. Mark Cohen (D., Phila.) said yesterday that he was introducing a bill to permit the use of medical marijuana in Pennsylvania under certain restrictions.
Cohen said that people in pain should not be forced to choose between moving out of state for treatment or buying drugs from criminals. The bill has only six cosponsors, but Cohen said he was optimistic about its prospects because polls show high levels of public support and lawmakers have to respond to their constituents. - AP
