Title:
VT: Please call Senators Mullin and Doyle ASAP!
Message:
Medical marijuana
dispensaries bill in their hands
Senators Kevin Mullin (R–Rutland) and William Doyle
(R–Washington) are the key swing votes in a pivotal, unexpected committee vote
that will be happening as soon as this afternoon. Please call
Sen. Mullin and Sen. Doyle, and ask them not to
kill S. 17, the medical marijuana dispensaries bill.
When you call, please be polite and respectful. Tell them
that this bill is in the Rules Committee because the agency tasked with
regulating dispensaries asked for more time. It would be unfair to the
Department of Public Safety and, more importantly, to
patients throughout the state to kill the bill as a result. There are
nearly 400 people in Vermont with serious illnesses like cancer,
HIV/AIDS, and multiple sclerosis whose doctors have recommended
marijuana, but
who have no legal means to obtain it. S. 17 would solve this problem by
establishing a limited number of tightly regulated dispensaries that
would be
able to dispense marijuana to registered patients.
Once again, please call and share your support
for S. 17 with Senators Kevin Mullin and William Doyle. This is urgent, so
please forward this message to your friends or post it on you favorite social
networking site after you make your call. Thanks everyone!
