Title:
Florida: Request that patients be protected, not raided!
Message:
Shortly after Sen. Jeff Clemens (D-Lake Worth) filed legislation to exempt seriously ill Floridians from criminal penalties for using marijuana with their doctors’ recommendations, the bill’s namesake – Cathy Jordan – was raided by the Manatee County Sheriff's Department. Ms. Jordan cultivates and uses marijuana to treat Lou Gehrig’s disease. Email your legislators today and ask them reject this madness by supporting medical marijuana; they’d join 70% of Floridians who do so as well.
The Cathy Jordan Medical Cannabis Act, which has also been introduced in the House by Rep. Katie Edwards (D – District 98), would allow patients with certain qualifying medical conditions, or their officially designated caregivers, to possess up to four ounces of marijuana and grow up to eight marijuana plants. It would require the Department of Business and Professional Regulation to license and regulate medical marijuana dispensaries and cultivation facilities. Florida should stop treating the sick and suffering like criminals; ask your legislators to support medical marijuana legislation!
Then, talk it up with your friends and family and encourage them to contact their lawmakers too. Thank you for your compassion!
