Marijuana Policy Project

Please contact your state legislator and our Gov. Tim Pawlenty and ask them to vote and immediately implement Senate Bill 97 and House Bill 292.

These bills are nearing a vote. If passed, they will legalize medical marijuana in Minnesota and will give a better quality of life to our terminally ill Minnesotans who are presently suffering massive nausea from chemotherapy or wasting away with HIV-AIDS and other terminal illnesses.

At present, more than one-third of Americans living in 25 percent of our states can use medical marijuana under a physician's supervision to ease their pain and suffering. It is only fair that your ill fellow Minnesotans can be allowed the same right.

In 1999, a report commissioned by the Office of National Drug Control Policy on the direction of President Clinton found, "For patients who suffer simultaneously from severe pain, nausea and appetite loss, such as those with AIDS or who are undergoing chemotherapy, cannabinoid drugs" such as marijuana, "might offer broad-spectrum relief not found in any other single medication."

Please remind them in a recent KSTP/Survey USA Poll, almost two-thirds of all Minnesotans respondents supported the legal use of medical marijuana.

We know especially if you, a friend or a family member has undergone chemotherapy, you know the urgent humanitarian need for our Minnesota Legislature to immediately pass and Pawlenty to sign this compassionate bill so that medical marijuana can be used legally under a doctor's supervision also here in Minnesota.
