Patients still in need of a medical marijuana law
Last update: July 6, 2009
Not one Louisiana lawmaker came forward during the 2009 session 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 Louisiana?
Please send your state legislators an e-mail today letting them know that you hope to see a bill introduced this year that will provide medical marijuana patients with the protection they need.
Thank you for supporting the Marijuana Policy Project. If you have any questions concerning the status of marijuana policy reform in Louisiana, you can contact MPP at state@mpp.org.
