Minnesota Senate officially passes medical marijuana bill!

Published: May 4, 2009

Victory! Today, the Minnesota Senate voted 35-29 in favor of MPP's medical marijuana bill, which would protect seriously ill patients from arrest for using their doctor-recommended medicine.

On the House side, MPP's medical marijuana bill will be considered by the House Finance Committee within days as it winds its way to the House floor within the next few weeks.

Together, we can maintain the momentum and pass the medical marijuana bill into law this session; however, it's not easy. Would you please consider donating $10 or more to the lobbying effort today?

These are exciting developments, and while we celebrate our success today, remember that we are far from a compassionate medical marijuana law in Minnesota.

Now more than ever, we need your help to push this bill through the House of Representatives. Please contact your representative today and urge him or her to vote in favor of H.F. 292. Cancer, HIV/ AIDS, and multiple sclerosis patients are counting on you!

Thank you for all you have done to get us to this point. Please pass this alert on to everyone you know in Minnesota, and let's make Minnesota the 14th medical marijuana state.
