Title:
Iowa: Effective medical marijuana law introduced, subcommittee meeting tomorrow!
Message:
Rep. Baudler’s ridiculous marijuana rescheduling bill awaits vote in House
In exciting medical marijuana news, Senator Joe Bolkcom (D-Iowa City) introduced S.F. 266, effective legislation based on our model bill, and it will be heard by a Senate Human Resources subcommittee tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. in Room 22 of the State Capitol. In 2009 and 2010, Sen. Bolkcom sponsored S.F. 293, but it never received a committee vote.
Ask your senator to support medical marijuana bill, S.F. 266! Iowa legislators need to hear from you.
If you are a seriously ill patient, supportive nurse, doctor, or law enforcement professional, or know one, please attend to testify, and please contact Jimmy Morrison of Iowa Patients at jimdmorrison@gmail.com for more information. We urge you to support patients by attending the subcommittee meeting, dressed in professional attire.
Also, seemingly unbalanced opponent Rep. Clel Baudler (R-Greenfield), who admitted to fraudulent misrepresentation to a California physician to get a medical marijuana recommendation, sponsored H.F. 183, which passed the Public Safety Committee and awaits a full House vote. This bill would place marijuana only in Schedule I, willfully ignoring last year’s Board of Pharmacy unanimous recommendation, and denying marijuana’s medical value. Please call your representative, and encourage her or him to choose science over politics.
