MEDICAL MARIJUANA

It's official, Another year has come and gone with no resolution toward 
solving the ailments of those in need of medical marijuana.  On March 14 
the only chance that medical marijuana patients had was shot down when 
Assembly Bill 715 died in the committee on criminal justice without a 
hearing or a vote.

Politicians will continuously seek out the arrest and prosecution of those 
who use medical marijuana in Wisconsin.  Those that fear prosecution and 
being labeled as criminals and drug dealers will only continue to suffer.

We, as the citizens of Wisconsin, need to stand up and send a strong 
message to our politicians that we will no longer stand to see our tax 
dollars wasted in the aid of arresting and jailing medical marijuana users. 
Furthermore, we will not go another year without the immediate passing of a 
medical marijuana bill so that our sick citizens may have proper access to 
the medicine they need ( medical marijuana ).  Give the sick back a little 
peace of mind and freedom.
