Medical marijuana vote may happen Wednesday, Nov. 20

Contact West Virginia
legislators today!

Dear Supporter:

The West Virginia Legislature’s Joint Committee on Health has been
studying the medical marijuana issue over the last few months, and the
committee will hold its first public discussion of the bill at its meeting Wednesday, November 20. It’s possible they will make
important decisions that will affect the future of patients who could benefit
from a medical marijuana law.

Please contact your
representatives in Charleston today and urge them to support this sensible and
compassionate reform!

If you have a compelling personal story you would like to
share with the committee members next week, please send it to me as soon as
possible at msimon@mpp.org.

The Charleston Gazette
has once again strongly stated its support with a November 4 editorial calling medical
marijuana “humane,” and even
the conservative-leaning Dominion Post
took a strong position in favor of medical marijuana October 11. With support from
these major newspapers and the general public, the time is now for legislators
to take action on behalf of patients who are suffering without safe, legal
access to medical marijuana.

Sincerely,

Matt Simon
