    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.

    Yeah I just received this email as well, though it didn't say anything about those seminars. I would love to go to one of them but the closest is Philly and that's kind of a dip, one too far for my broke ass to make.

    Anyone interested in giving testimony to the Health and Human Services board (the board reviewing HB 1393) should email Patients@Pa4MMJ.org it's really easy so do it.

    Harrisburg is the hearings! It'll be sometime in September definitely, first the budget needs to pass before there will be any hearings. This is probably the most important one to go to. There's not really that much info on it yet. I've said a lot of it a couple times but I don't mind repeating myself on this subject.

    im so glad that many residents in my home state are working this hard to help medicinally make marijuana available. I hope to with the recent influence of NJ making medicinal marijuana legal will push the cause here in PA.
