Title:
Support medical marijuana in Idaho!
Message:
A couple weeks ago, Representative
Tom Trail (R – Moscow) introduced legislation that would protect Idahoans with serious and
debilitating medical conditions from arrest and prosecution for using medical
marijuana under their physicians’ recommendations. The Idaho
Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act, or HB 19, was sent to the House
Committee on Health and Welfare where it sits until it is scheduled for a
hearing. Please contact your legislators today and ask them
to support HB 19!
Rep. Trail
understands the need for a compassionate use law in Idaho. Washington, Oregon,
Nevada, Montana, and Canada (all of which share a border with Idaho) allow
their citizens to use marijuana for medical purposes. Tell your
legislators that jailing patients is bad policy.
A
recent Boise State University Public
Policy Survey found that 74% of respondents favor allowing “terminally
and seriously ill patients to use and purchase marijuana for medical purposes.” Please e-mail your legislators to make sure
they know their constituents care about this issue!
