The US Senate passed S.258, the "Saving Kids from Dangerous Drugs Act of 2010." We are concerned that without amendments, this act goes too far and infringes on the rights of medical marijuana patients by doubling federal penalties. Now is the time to act -- Tell your Representative that medical marijuana patients deserve protection!
Many patients, particularly the elderly and those with compromised lung function, prefer to use medical cannabis in edible forms as opposed to smoking or inhaling their medicine. S. 258 unfairly puts these patients and their providers at a heightened risk of arrest and prosecution.
The House has an opportunity to make important changes to the legislation before they vote on the bill. Patients and advocates are leading the call for sensible and responsible amendments to the legislation, and they need your help. Take Action Now! Phone and email your Representative today! Please forward this action request to your friends, family and networks across the Country.
