Don't let them double penalties for edible marijuana products!
Dear Friends,

* Watch the video message here: http://ssdp.org/marijuana/video/ *

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.

Take Action: http://ssdp.org/marijuana/

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/

Thanks,
Aaron Houston

2. Happen to have the bill number?
Not that I doubt it (Congress is ridiculous) but I'd like to read it over.

3. S. 258, the "Saving Kids from Dangerous Drugs Act,"
Authores by DiFi. It is using a hyped-up media scare about "candy flavored methamphetamine" to attack medical marijuana patients and providers.

6. +1
I stopped working for her reelection campaigns after she told me that she (paraphrased) simply had to vote for the IWR, because she has access to much more information that the average citizen, and she's not beholden to represent her constituents in the Senate--even when ~85% of those who wrote her re: the IWR were opposed.

8. I'm over her.
I voted for her challenger in her last primary, then voted Green Party in the general.

9. I've held my nose one too many times for her.

She never met a "defense" spending bill she didn't like.

15. WTF - it's healthier to eat it. This is ridiculous.
Smoking it carries risk as lungs are not meant to inhale smoke. Stomaches are meant to process plants.
