Tv Host Montel Advocates for Medical Marijuana in Pa.

OUTSIDE A SHORT TIME LATER. RON: THOSE PUSHING TO LEGALIZE MEDICAL MARIJUANA ARE GETTING SOME STAR POWER AT THE STATE CAPITOL. THAT'S WHERE '8 ON YOUR SIDE' GOVERNMENT REPORTER PETE MUNTEAN IS LIVE. THIS BILL IS BOGGED DOWN BEFORE ITS LAST HURDLE IN THE HOUSE. NOW THERE'S HOPE THIS EMOTIONAL PLEA COULD CHANGE THAT. I WANTED TO END MY PAIN. A TEARFUL MONTEL WILLIAMS CAME TO THE STATE CAPITOL WITH STORIES OF HIS STRUGGLES WITH MS AND HOW USING MEDICAL CANNIBUS DAILY HAS EASED THE PAIN. THIS IS AN ISSUE OF COMPASSION AND THAT'S IT. LAST MONTH, THE STATE SENATE PASSED THIS MEDICAL MARIJUANA BILL. NOW IT'S STUCK IN A HOUSE COMMITTEE UNTIL THE CHAIRMAN BRINGS IT TO A VOTE. WE CANNOT LET A FEW BECOME OBSTRUCTIONISTS FOR COMPASSION FOR OUR PEOPLE. MOTHERS OF CHILDREN WITH EPILEPSY HOPE WILLIAMS' CELEBRITY WILL FINALLY PUSH THIS ISSUE OVER THE EDGE. YOU NEVER KNOW IN HARRISBURG, BUT I REALLY HOPE IT ADDS MOMENTUM. WILLIAMS IS HOLDING A TOWN HALL ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA
