Title:
Act now, committee voting Monday!
Message:
The Joint Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety
will meet Monday, March 28 to vote on two important marijuana
policy reform measures – LD 750, which would decriminalize the possession of up
to six marijuana plants, and LD 754, which would increase the amount of marijuana
decriminalized in Maine to five ounces. Please contact your elected officials
today and urge them to support these bills.
Got 2-3 minutes? Make
a call. Only have a minute? Send an e-mail.
Possession of up to 2.5 ounces of
marijuana is already decriminalized in Maine, but the bills offered by Rep. Ben
Chipman would improve upon the current law and make Maine the best state in the
nation when it comes to marijuana policy. If passed, the bills would allow law
abiding Maine residents who choose to cultivate their own marijuana to do so
without fear of arrest, while freeing up law enforcement resources to combat rampant
OxyContin abuse, violent crimes, and other real threats to public safety.
Please call or e-mail your elected
officials and ask them to support these needed reforms, and I’ll be sure to let
you know if the bills advance.
Thanks for all you do!
