Minnesota medical marijuana bill passes key vote in Senate!

Published: April 29, 2009

Exciting news! Today, S.F. 97, MPP's medical marijuana bill, was debated on the floor of the Senate and passed 36-28! This is an enormous victory for some of our most vulnerable neighbors, and we could not have done it without your support. Hopefully, we are just a few short weeks away from ending the cruel practice of arresting the sick and the dying for simply trying to alleviate their pain.

Would you please donate at least $10 today, so we can continue our fight to push this compassionate legislation into law?

According to Minnesota legislative rules, the full Senate now must approve the bill again before it officially passes. This will likely happen tomorrow, in an up-or-down vote, without debate, and no amendments will be allowed. We fully expect the Senate will confirm its vote from today and officially pass the bill out of the chamber.

But you can never be too sure, so please take a moment to contact your state legislators today. It takes just a few minutes to send them an e-mail with our easy to use and convenient e-mail system.

Thank you for all you have done to push MPP's medical marijuana bill through the Senate. Victory is in sight!
