Educational events scheduled in support of Pa. medical marijuana bill

As you probably know, Rep. Mark Cohen (D-Philadelphia) has introduced HB 1393, which will allow suffering Pennsylvania residents to use medical marijuana if their doctors recommend it.

The bill will likely be scheduled for its first committee hearings sometime in September.

If you haven't already done so, please take a moment to contact your representative now.
