Title:
MT: Senate repeal hearing on March 11 — Fill your cars and come to Helena!
Message:
Ask your senator to support an amended S.B. 154 instead
Montana patients need your support. On Friday, March 11 at 8:00 a.m. in Room 303 of the Capitol Building, the Senate
Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing
on H.B. 161, medical marijuana repeal. Although the House recently passed H.B. 161, 63-27,
we are much more hopeful that the Senate will do the right thing. In order to
make that happen, we need a huge show of support at the hearing. Please attend
to demonstrate that many Montanans care about protecting and preserving the
rights of Montana medical marijuana patients. Remember to dress professionally
and act respectfully.
You can also show your support by e-mailing
and calling
your senators, urging them to vote against repeal.
Also, the Senate Judiciary Committee met in February to consider S.B. 154,
which would regulate the medical marijuana provider supply system. The content
of these regulations is still uncertain, but the committee will likely be using
S.B. 154 and other ideas to develop its own regulation bill. Please tell your senator to amend S.B.
154 and pass tight, reasonable regulations for the medical marijuana
industry.
Again, please fill your cars with as many patients,
advocates, and friends as possible, and get to Helena on March 11!
