Medical marijuana bill introduced in Minnesota House
Published: January 27, 2009
Exciting news! We are on the verge of making Minnesota the 14th medical marijuana state, but we need your help.
Rep. Tom Rukavina (DFL-Virginia) has introduced into the Minnesota House a companion medical marijuana bill to the one that was introduced in the Senate last week. This compassionate legislation would protect patients who use marijuana under the advice of their doctor, as well as give them a way to obtain their medicine without having to go to the criminal market.
Please take a minute to write your House member in support of this bill today. Your e-mail could help alleviate the suffering of many Minnesota patients suffering from cancer, AIDS, and other debilitating conditions.
Please also watch this TV commercial we aired last year, featuring chronic, intractable pain patient K.K. Forss, to see one example of how this compassionate legislation would help alleviate a fellow Minnesotan's suffering.
The House bill, H.F. 292, has been cosponsored by one-fifth of the entire Minnesota House, but that does not ensure passage. Please e-mail your state representative today, using our fast and easy system. Just two minutes of your time could help hundreds of suffering Minnesotans.

Rep. Mark Buesgnes (R-Jordan)
