Another session ends without legislation being introduced to protect medical marijuana patients from arrest
Last update: May 27, 2009
Not one Kentucky legislator came forward this year on behalf of sick and dying patients who use medical marijuana and introduced a bill to protect them.
Interestingly, last year marked the 30th anniversary of the federal government's little-known medical marijuana program, the Compassionate Investigational New Drug program, which is an offshoot of the federal government's Investigational New Drug program.
If the federal government can have a medical marijuana program, why can't Kentucky?
Right now, across the Bluegrass state, medical marijuana patients are being arrested and their children taken away from them. It is time for a change, and you can help by reaching out to your legislators and asking them to do something.
Please send your state legislators an e-mail today letting them know that you hope to see a bill introduced next year that will provide medical marijuana patients with the protection they need.
If you have any questions concerning the status of marijuana policy reform in Kentucky, you can contact MPP at state@mpp.org.
Also, be sure to subscribe to MPP's free legislative alert service today if you haven't done so already.
