This is important for our health! Sign so states can keep their HEALTH and
REVENUE without fearing an ignorant Alabama man who still believes the old
government lie that Cannabis has no medicinal value. *The United States

Friend,
Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently sent a letter to Congressional
leadership demanding that Congress set aside the Rohrabacher-
amendment, which protects states that have lawfully enacted medical
marijuana programs from federal interference.
It is apparent that the AG and the Justice Department is seeking to use
every tool at their disposal to roll back the progress that we have made to
provide patients legal access to medical cannabis. That is why, last week,
our allies in the US House and Senate introduced the CARERS Act of 2017,
which would codify Rohrabacher-
the Justice Department from overriding them.

stop Sessions’ War on Medical Marijuana before it starts.

This bipartisan legislation explicitly exempts from federal prosecution
those who are engaged in the “production, possession, distribution,
dispensation, administration, laboratory testing, recommending use, or
delivery of medical marijuana” in instances where these activities comport
with state law.
Thirty states and the District of Columbia now regulate the possession,
use, and dispensing of medical marijuana by statute. It is time the federal
government acknowledge these laws and protect the patients who rely on them.
*Now is the time to protect patients, send a message to your Senators and
Representative to support the CARERS Act of 2017.
<https:/
The Senate bill was introduced by Senators Booker (D-NJ), Paul (R-KY),
Gillibrand (D-NY), Lee (R-UT), Franken (D-MN), and Murkowski (R-AK). The
House companion bill was reintroduced by Rep Young (R-AK) and Rep Cohen
(D-TN).
Medical marijuana is not a partisan issue - in fact, an overwhelming 94% of
Americans support the use of cannabis by authorized medical patients.
Nonetheless, militant prohibitionists including Jeff Sessions still believe
that “good people do not smoke marijuana.” It is our job to tell Congress
that this outdated mentality has no place in policy making decisions.
Attorney General Sessions is not a doctor and he has no business
interfering in doctor-patient relationships.
*Support patients. Protect and expand our progress. Tell your members of
Congress to pass the CARERS Act.
