If you believe seriously ill patients should be allowed safe, legal access to medical marijuana when their doctors recommend it, please help push HB 648 over its final hurdles. Votes to approve the amended bill are scheduled for tomorrow (Wednesday) in both chambers of the legislature, and a "Rally for Compassion" is scheduled for 8:15-9:45 in front of the state house. (speakers begin at 8:45)

The bill originally passed 234-138 in the House and 14-10 in the Senate. When Governor Lynch expressed a list of concerns to legislators, they steered the bill into a committee of conference, which worked hard to craft an amendment

The bill no longer allows patients or caregivers to cultivate marijuana. Instead, three nonprofit compassion centers would be licensed and regulated by the state to produce and dispense medical marijuana to cardholding patients. With access now tightly controlled, patients are hopeful that the bill will earn even more support in the House and Senate.
