Title:
Medical marijuana in Kentucky?
Message:
You read that right. Kentucky is the newest entry in the
growing list of states considering medical marijuana legislation. Sen. Perry Clark
(D-Louisville) has introduced SB 129, a bill that
would allow doctors to prescribe marijuana to patients with debilitating
illnesses and reschedule marijuana under state law. There are some technical
problems with the language in the bill vis-à-vis federal law, but those issues
can be worked out through amendments down the road.
For now,
it’s important that you write
your state legislators and urge them to support this compassionate
measure. Using our simple one-click email system, it’ll take you less than 30
seconds to send
an email now.
The bill is
known as the Gatewood Galbraith Memorial Medical Marijuana Act, after the late Gatewood Galbraith,
a five-time gubernatorial candidate and outspoken proponent of ending marijuana
prohibition. Galbraith would be delighted to see the passage of effective
medical marijuana legislation in the Bluegrass State, but not as happy as the
thousands of patients in Kentucky living with conditions that marijuana can
safely and effectively treat.
So please,
take a moment to email
your legislators now. If you get a response, please forward it to me.
Thanks for all you do!
