Ok guys, brief update after the 2018 NORML Conference & Lobby Day where I joined the dedicated voulenteers from Maryland NORML to lobby Congress in favor of the various cannabis bills that have been laying on their desks for entirely too long!
The 2 bills that will PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS are:
😚💨 S. 1689/HR 4815: The Marijuana Justice Act; Takes Marijuana of the controlled substances Act, expunges federal marijuana convictions and impliments mechanisms to END the racial disparity in marijuana convictions
😚💨 S. 3174: The Marijuana Freedom & Opportunity Act; Takes Marijuana of the Controlled Substances Act, Provides resources to facilitate expungement of local marijuana convictions and implements mechanisms to entrepreneurship and small businesses in the emerging marijuana industry.
Specifically the Representatives that need to be reminded by the public as to WHY these bills are so important to protect the medical marijuana patients in the Maryland Medical Cannabis Community from continued discrimination and removal of basic freedoms are Senator Ben Cardin and Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer
IF YOU DO NOT LIVE IN MD... COntact your state representatives about these #federalbills that aim to protect your rights!
I'll be updating you on how the meetings with their staffers went and why it's so important that they be reminded of the concerns of their constituents later this evening LIVE from GI Mary Jane and my personal page (pending the internet God's are kind to me)
You can email Ben Cardin by clicking here: https://www.cardin.senate.gov/contact/email-ben
You can email Steny Hoyer by clicking here: https://hoyer.house.gov/email-steny/
IF YOU GET AN AUTOMATIED RESPONCE EMAIL THEM BACK! Demand personal attention to your issue. You are their constituents, their job is to work on YOUR BEHALF which can not be done unless they are actively communicating with you! Demand a respectful reply, it is your right as a citizen.
