Title:
Tell the Judiciary Committee to oppose HB 2982
Message:
On Wednesday, February 23, the House Judiciary Committee will meet to
take testimony on HB 2982, a bill introduced by Rep. Matt Wingard that
seeks to negatively amend the Oregon medical marijuana program. Our
records indicate that your representative sits on this committee. Please contact him or her today and voice your opposition to this bad bill.
HB
2982 would deny individuals convicted of a controlled substances crime
from using or receiving a medical marijuana ID card. In addition, this
bill would require the Oregon Health Authority to conduct a background
check on all current cardholders and revoke an ID from any patient or
caregiver previously convicted of a felony. Not only would this mass
background check be an incredible waste of money, but it can only be
motivated by animus towards patients. Whether Rep. Wingard likes it or
not, ex-offenders get sick, too. Please call your representative and ask him or her to oppose this bill!
Thank you for subscribing to MPP’s alerts. With your help, we can defeat this bad bill in committee.
