Pennsylvania Rep. Mark Cohen (D-Philadelphia), along with six co-sponsors, has introduced legislation to make physician-supervised use of cannabis legal.
As introduced -- House Bill 1393, The Barry Busch Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act of 2009 -- would allow state-authorized patients to possess and cultivate cannabis for therapeutic purposes. The measure also seeks to allow for the state-licensed distribution and sale of medical marijuana by authorized 'compassion centers.' The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Health and Human Services.
Rep. Cohen, along with members of Philadelphia NORML, introduced the state's first-ever medical marijuana bill at a press conference on Wednesday, April 29.
