“ State Rep. Mark Cohen said Wednesday that he will introduce a bill as soon as next month to legalize medical marijuana in Pennsylvania. ΒΆ Cohen said he decided to have the measure drafted after he was interviewed for a story in Wednesday’s Metro about legalizing marijuana to help the city and state overcome budget problems and getting almost all positive responses on Facebook, PhillyBlog and elsewhere.
Mark B. Cohen has a history of taking the Internet too seriously; who knew that had an upside? Next time you’re making one last rebuttal in a particularly heated debate in the “Politics” subforum of your Warcraft 3 guild’s messageboard, remember to make it good. You could be convincing someone to legalize medical marijuana.
Suggestion to Metro: Play up your paper’s involvement in the story as a way to appeal to young readers.
