Mass. medical marijuana bill picks up two endorsements, your voice needed

Massachusetts' medical marijuana bill, HB 2160, is picking up steam. MPP has retained a prestigious lobbying firm and is working hand-in-hand with the Massachusetts Patient Advocacy Alliance to mobilize support. Already, the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition and AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod have signed on.

At long last, the bill could get a committee vote within weeks. But before that can happen it is crucial that legislators hear that their constituents care.

Please call and e-mail your state legislators now.

Once you've contacted your legislators, you can check out the Massachusetts Patient Advocacy Alliance's new web site, and learn about some of the patients who are counting on HB 2160 to become law. Then, please pass this alert along to everyone you know in Massachusetts who might be interested in helping pass this sensible and compassionate bill. You can also help by linking to our action in your social networking sites.

If you are a seriously ill patient, a medical professional, or the loved one of a patient, and you might like to speak out, please fill out this form.
