Title:
N.Y. Assembly passes medical marijuana bill!
Message:
Great news! Last night, the New York State Assembly overwhelmingly approved Assemblyman Richard Gottfried’s medical marijuana bill, AB 7347B, in a 90-50 vote.
Assemblyman Gottfried’s bill would allow registered patients with "severe debilitating or life-threatening conditions" to obtain marijuana from registered organizations for their medical use.
Unfortunately, the Senate bill has not yet received a committee vote this year, and there are only six days left until the legislature adjourns. Please take a moment to ask your senator to support this sensible and compassionate proposal.
New York is increasingly an outlier in the region. New Jersey, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, and Maine all have medical marijuana programs, as does Canada. Please ask your senator to listen to voters, and to support the Senate companion, SB 7283, which is sponsored by Sen. Diane Savino.
Thanks for all you do for sensible marijuana policies!
