Title:
WA: Act now to help protect patients’ rights; demand safe access
Message:
SB 5073, a bill
which would, among other things, establish a regulatory system for the sale and
purchase of medical marijuana for qualifying patients has passed through the
Senate committee process and is awaiting a vote by the full Senate. Please e-mail your senator TODAY and
ask him or her to help protect patients by voting “yes” on SB
5073!
A state
recognized and regulated system for medical marijuana distribution benefits
Washington by providing clarity to the medical marijuana program, thus reducing
the chance of federal interference. Also, the bill provides protection from
arrest and prosecution, in addition to the current medical defense available at
trial, for patients acting in compliance with the law. If passed, this
legislation will set up protections for renters and parents who are patients. Ask your senator to vote “yes” on SB 5073.
This bill could
be voted on as early as today, so
please e-mail your senator now and feel free to pass this along to your friends and family so
that they too can make their voices heard.
