Title:
Ask Gov. Mead to veto HB 69
Message:
The Wyoming Legislature recently passed HB
69, a bill stating that, with the exception of dronabinol, any prescription
or order from a physician for marijuana, THC, or synthetic THC, is invalid. Please
call Governor Matt Mead today and ask that he veto this legislation.
This bill has been a waste of legislative time. No
physician, even those in states with medical marijuana laws, may prescribe
marijuana because it is a Schedule I substance. Furthermore, Wyoming’s law does
not protect patients using medical marijuana, so a physician's order to use
would be irrelevant and no defense to a marijuana charge. Finally, this bill
indicates a strong hostility to medical marijuana, which 81% of the American public supports allowing.
Please
contact the governor and point out the absurdity of this bill.
Instead
of promoting bills that will affect no change and are simply driven by animus towards
a particular population, encourage the governor to champion for compassion and
common sense by advocating for a medical marijuana bill.
Thank you for your time.
