Pa. State Rep. Seeks to Legalize Medical Use of Marijuana

State Rep. Mark Cohen announced on Mar. 20 that he hoped to introduce a bill next month to legalize the medical use of marijuana in Pennsylvania. The New Jersey measure would let registered patients suffering from cancer, multiple sclerosis and other illnesses grow marijuana plants for medical use or buy the drug at a licensed center. Cohen said the bill could raise more than $25 million a year in taxes. Next month, Michigan will legalize the medical use of marijuana, joining a dozen other states including California.
