D.C. Council approves medical marijuana!

 

Dear friends:

 

Today, in a historic win, the D.C. Council has approved medical marijuana in the District!

Nearly twelve years after 69 percent of voters passed a medical marijuana initiative, federal obstructions have been lifted and the D.C. Council has passed legislation that will protect patients in Washington, D.C.

We need your help to take this law from a win to a major success!  Please consider donating $10 or more to our campaign to convince the mayor's office and the Department of Health to improve this law!

Though a win for patients in the District, the new law leaves many critical details to the discretion of both the mayor's office and the Department of Health.  Issues such as limits on the number of grow houses, qualifying medical conditions, and patient access can still be improved before this law goes into effect!  We need to raise upwards of $7,500 to have a chance to effectively lobby for these improved provisions.

Additionally, bringing an effective medical marijuana law to our nation's capital creates an amazing opportunity to advance federal legislation in a way that's never been done before.

Please, take a moment right now and help us make sure that Washington, D.C. improves this new law while there is still time.

Together, we can end marijuana prohibition in the United States once and for all.

Sincerely,

Rob Kampia
