Title:
Vermont House to vote on dispensaries today
Message:
We
just received word that S. 17, a bill that would expand Vermont’s medical
marijuana program to provide access to patients through state-regulated
dispensaries, is expected to be on the calendar for debate today, Wednesday, in the
Vermont House of Representatives. This comes after the House Appropriations
Committee approved the bill, 7-4. Both the Human Services and Ways and Means
Committees approved the bill last week.
Now is the time to tell
your state representative to vote “yes” on S. 17.
There
are two ways you can get involved. Calls are most effective, and we’ve set up a
page with a suggested call script and talking points for you to take a minute
to call your representative and
leave him or her a message. If you’re short on time and can’t make a call, we’ve got
pre-written messages you can edit and send
here.
Whichever you choose, please act
now, and tell your friends to do the same. Patients in Vermont have cards, but many have no way to obtain the medicine they need. Let’s fix that by
passing S. 17.
