Title:
Calif.: Contact your legislators in advance of deadline
Message:
This Friday, June 1, is the last day that bills can be voted on in the legislative chamber they started in. If they are not voted out of their chamber by the end of the week, they die. Last Friday, I asked you to write your senator in support of Sen. Leno’s bill to offer clear legal protections to dispensaries. Please also ask your senator to support Leno’s SB 1506, which would defelonize possession of all drugs, including hash. Hash can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony now.
The Friday deadline also applies to bills in the Assembly. Email your assemblymember TODAY and ask him or her to support AB 2312, introduced by Asm. Tom Ammiano. If passed, this proposal would create the Board of Medical Marijuana Enforcement to oversee and regulate the medical marijuana industry in California.
Remember, the Senate and Assembly must act on these bills by Friday in order for them to advance to the other chamber or they die. Take action TODAY and pass this along to your friends and family as well.
