Attention! an Important Note to all Missourian's
Sensible Missouri
July 6th 2011
Sensible friends,
July 6th, 2011 heralded a new era for the cannabis culture of Missouri. On this date we filed our first and second ever legalization initiatives. A Constitutional amendment and a Statutory amendment. Please review our bills by following the menu. Give us your thoughts.
This historic undertaking provides common sense and truth to our state at a time when such principles are devoid in our state capital. These bills would provide:
- the removal of cannabis from the Missouri Revised Statutes list of controlled substances
- protection and provision for the medical cannabis patient
- provision for the personal and commercial cultivation and distribution of medical cannabis
- protection for cannabis-friendly physicians
- protection and provision for the adult users of cannabis
- provision for the personal and commercial cultivation and distribution of non-medical cannabis
- the re-establishment of a hemp industry for Missouri
- amnesty for all who have been convicted or stand to be convicted of a non-violent cannabis crimes
- an end to the war on cannabis and cannabis users in Missouri
The month of June saw the formation of our Political Action Committee, Show-Me Cannabis. It is through this organization that we have and will continue to drive this campaign.
There has never been another time more important to get involved and to donate. This is it, my friends. This is our shot. If this campaign is successful, we will have put the legalization of cannabis on the ballot in November of 2012. It's going to involve a heck of a lot of work, probably a lot more than money, and I can guarantee you, it's going to require a great deal of that. But we will have accomplished so much. If this bill passes, 70 years of injustice will be gone and the healing of our sick and our state's economy will commence.
Join with me and let's fight this fight together. And let's make Missouri history.
