Title: 

Md.: Campaign event for medical marijuana sponsor Del. Dan Morhaim, M.D.

Message: 

There were a number of heroes who helped push SB 308 through the legislature last year, but none bigger than Delegate Dan Morhaim. In addition to being the original, comprehensive bill’s drafter and lead House sponsor, Morhaim, the General Assembly’s only physician, worked closely with committee chairs, medical experts, and key figures at the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to help enshrine in Maryland law the most significant legal protections for Maryland’s medical marijuana patients ever.

Del. Morhaim is also Deputy Majority Leader in the House, Chair of the Joint Committee on Health Care Delivery and Finance, and Chair of the sub-committee on Government Operations. We are very fortunate to have such a distinguished legislator on our side.

Now we’re asking you to give back. Del. Morhaim is holding a fundraiser so that he’s able to continue to champion our issues.

WHAT: A campaign fundraiser to benefit Maryland’s medical marijuana bill sponsor, Delegate Dan Morhaim, M.D.

WHEN: October 25, 6:00-8:00 p.m.

WHERE: Lenny's Deli, 9107 Reisterstown Road, Owings Mills, MD 21117

Checks (under Maryland law can be from personal and/or corporate accounts) can be made out to: Citizens for Dan Morhaim, 8 Park Center Court, #100, Owings Mills, MD 21117. If you plan to attend, just indicate that. No tickets needed; your name will be at the door.

We made significant progress last year, but our goal is to pass an effective law that protects patients from arrest and ensures access to doctor-recommended medicine. We’ll need Del. Morhaim to get there.

And don’t forget our other key sponsors in Maryland, Senator David Brinkley and Senator Jamie Raskin.

Thanks!
