Take Action

 

Write a short, powerful letter to the editor in support of medical marijuana access for seriously ill patients.

Please send your legislators an e-mail urging them to give the medical marijuana bill — HB 277 — the attention it deserves this year.

Set up a free screening of the award-winning medical marijuana documentary Waiting to Inhale. If you are interested in hosting a screening, please send an e-mail to NMiller@mpp.org letting us know.

Ask your doctor, clergy member, local leader, or organization you are a member of to sign our statement of principle. Simply print it out and ask your doctor or other individual to sign it the next time you have the opportunity. Then send it to us at P.O. Box 77492, Washington, D.C. 20013.

Help get the word out by downloading and sharing MPP's public service announcements with radio stations in your area. If you're a talk radio listener, call in and express support for medical marijuana laws. Even if the subject being discussed isn't explicitly about marijuana, many related issues can be a springboard for urging reform. For example, if the issue is health care, you can point out that treatment decisions are better off being left to patients and physicians than police and prosecutors.

Using MPP's sign-up sheets, collect as many valid e-mail addresses as you can and send them to us. You can scan and e-mail the information you collect to Nathan@mpp.org or mail it to MPP legislative analyst Nathan Miller at P.O. Box 77492, Washington, DC 20013.

Print and hand out MPP's medical marijuana brochures to your friends, family, local leaders, and elected officials in an effort to educate the public and garner support.
