Don't let them double penalties for edible marijuana products! [View All]

Dear Friends,

Yes, you read that correctly. A bill has just reached the floor of the U.S. Senate that would double penalties for any edible products combined with medical marijuana in California and other states that provide relief for patients. The worst part is that the bill was written and sponsored by a Democratic senator from California!

The bill is currently awaiting a vote. That's why we need you to write your two United States Senators today and urge them to defeat this terrible bill.

As you probably know, many patients prefer to eat - rather than smoke or vaporize - medical marijuana. To illustrate how inhumane this bill is, consider this scenario. The bill would double the federal prison sentence if a college student home to help care for his brother undergoing chemotherapy baked marijuana brownies for him to eat, even if it was recommended by his doctor!

Please write the Senate now to defeat this heartless bill. And if you appreciate SSDP taking the lead on important issues like this, please consider donating today. http://ssdp.org/donate/
