Title:
Ask your representative to support medical marijuana reform
Message:
E2SSB
5073, a bill that would, among other things, establish a regulatory system for
the sale and purchase of medical marijuana for qualifying patients, is
scheduled for executive committee in the House Health Care & Wellness
Committee today at 1:30 p.m. The bill is expected to quickly move through the
remainder of the committee process, so please e-mail your
representative TODAY and ask him or
her to help protect patients by supporting E2SSB 5073!
Currently, all
medical marijuana patients in Washington are subject to arrest and are given
only an affirmative defense at trial. In addition to allowing the regulated
dispensing of medical marijuana, this bill would protect patients who sign up
for a voluntary registry from arrest and prosecution by allowing law
enforcement to quickly determine that they are in legal compliance with state
law. Ask your representative to support this bill, but to
amend the language to protect all patients from arrest and prosecution.
This bill will
move quickly, so please e-mail your representative now and feel free to pass this along to your friends
and family so that they too can make their voices heard.
