Hope for Alabama; Medical Marijuana Activists Continue Effort. It Is Up To You, People - Contact Your State Rep!

[pic] Bill to Legalize and Regulate Marijuana Tabled in Committee | House Bill 550, which sought to legalize and regulate the adult use of marijuana in Alabama, was tabled in the House Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security and will not be voted on this year. Thank you for assisting us in our reform efforts in Alabama, together we generated over 2,800 emails to representatives in Alabama in support of this measure. We will keep you updated on future legislative action in the state.   >>Learn more>>  here  printing off the info and handing out where possible / necessary. Also phone call and read off and/or visit and hand deliver the info. You can take literature with you and approach businesses, organizations and even people on the street while you're out and about. Wear your pot-leaf shirt and register voters, as feasible. Gather signatures for any related petitions that are happening at the time as well.

This is a chain e-mail you can't refuse. Unlike most, this will actually help you - and a whole buncha others - just by passing it on. Cannabis consumer or not - from the folks just trying to take care of themselves or a loved one to those who simply see the expensive, immoral waste of making war on the sick and dying - everyone is affected by this issue.

To accomplish this you need to first click on the following links and send a message to all the reps and media you can on the issue.Then get everybody else to do the same. And follow up.

To do this you need to tell everybody you know. And can confide in. Then/or anonymously tell everybody you don't know - or can't confide in. Yet.

Tell everybody else by Letters-to-the-Editor, displaying signage at street corners and over-passes (wear trenchcoat, fedora and sunglasses if afraid of exposure), and/or anonymously leaving literature and posting on-line at places where people are likely to find it. Coffeeshops are good places to leave printed material and you can go to the websites of the local newspapers to post items as well. More ideas and supporting tools via the links below.

Inform, Educate, Activate

[pic] INFORM and EDUCATE. Distribute medical marijuana brochures and other literature to your friends, family, local leaders and elected officials in an effort to educate the public and garner support. Educate your community by Printing, posting and handing out Flyers and other Printables in a mall, coffee shop, laundromat, college campus, lamp post, telephone poll, business window (ask first), hospital, or anywhere people will see them. Contact these groups for some. If you or your Organization is doing the same, please Post It or give us Feed Back.

[pic] Alabama legislators consider marijuana policy reforms in 2013 - Last Update: September 20, 2013 | The Alabama House of Representatives held public hearings on two bills in 2013: a medical marijuana bill and a bill that would have taxed and regulated marijuana like alcohol. While neither bill received a vote in the full House, these bills were an important step in Alabama re-examining its costly and ineffective marijuana policies. Unfortunately, the medical marijuana bill, HB 2, was voted down by the House Health Committee. HB 550, which would have made marijuana legal for adults 21 and older, was considered by the House Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security but did not receive a vote. Both bills were sponsored by Rep. Patricia Todd (D-Birmingham). HB 550, also known as the Alabama Cannabis and Hemp Reform Act of 2013, would have allowed adults 21 and over to possess up to one ounce of marijuana and cultivate up to 12 plants in a secure space. It would have taxed marijuana similarly to alcohol and would have tasked the Alabama Department of Revenue with licensing retail outlets and regulating the cultivation, distribution, and sale of marijuana to adults 21 and over. In addition to allowing a regulated and taxed marijuana industry, HB 550 would have also set up a medical marijuana program.

Please take a moment to let your legislators know that Alabamians strongly support protecting the seriously ill from arrest. A 2004 poll by the Mobile Register and the University of South Alabama found that 75 percent of respondents supported legalizing marijuana for medical use under a doctor's supervision. If advocates can convince other legislators to join Rep. Todd as co-sponsors, chances of passing a bill in 2014 will improve dramatically. >>   Visit -  Are you a patient, arrestee, clergy member, or member of law enforcement? | If you are supportive and are a patient with a serious medical condition who might benefit from medical marijuana, a loved one of such a patient, a person who has been arrested for possessing marijuana, a medical professional, a member of law enforcement or the clergy, or a lawyer or Ph.D. who might be interested in speaking out, please email state@ to see how you can be of special help. Be sure to include your address and nine-digit ZIP code so we can determine who your legislators are.

ACLU study shows Alabama’s harsh marijuana laws result in racially disproportionate arrest rates | Alabama has some of the harshest marijuana penalties in the country. Possession of even a single joint is punishable by up to a year of incarceration. It’s clear these laws have not been successful, and new evidence shows that Alabama’s laws are not being evenly enforced. A 2013 study by the American Civil Liberties Union found that although blacks and whites use marijuana at nearly identical rates, blacks in Alabama are 4.4 times more likely than whites to be arrested for marijuana possession.

Please take a moment to send a letter to your legislators asking them to reduce the penalty for possession of marijuana to a civil fine or ask them to end marijuana prohibition entirely. Stay Connected | To stay updated on the status of marijuana policy reform in Alabama, be sure to subscribe to MPP’s free legislative alert service. >>   Visit -

[pic] Informational Guide on Medical Cannabis | If you have ever heard of the song, “Lets Go Get Stoned,” as sung by Ray Charles or Joe Cocker, you know the lyrics were referring to getting high or using cannabis aka marijuana. This mind altering drug goes by other names as well; names such as weed, pot, joint, blunt, hash and mary jane are quite common among users. Cannabis is a plant that contains a chemical called cannabinoids or cannabinolidic acids. Another substance that is found in cannabis is THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol, which gives the users that “high” sensation. When speaking of marijuana, the actual substance used in creating the high feeling comes from the leaves and flowering tops of the cannabis plant. Marijuana is considered to be a schedule 1 controlled substance today, because of the THC, which can be highly potent, depending upon the concentration factor of the THC. Visit > < for more.

[pic] THE REEFER MADNESS ERA, REEFER MADNESS BOOKS (Info, History) By definition, it would be a contradiction in terms to list or classify a Reefer Madness book as a work of "Non-Fiction." Thus both genres are group together here simply as "Hard Cover" books; if only to distinguish them from the "Pulp Fiction" or "Dime Store novels" discussed elsewhere.

Eight of the twelve did so through the initiative process. Hawaii's law was enacted by the legislature and signed by the governor in 2000, Vermont's was enacted by the legislature and passed into law without the governor's signature in May 2004, Rhode Island's was passed into law over the governor's veto in January 2006, and New Mexico's legislation was signed into law by Governor Bill Richardson on April 2, 2007.

2. The Institute of Medicine's 1999 report on medical marijuana stated, "The accumulated data indicate a potential therapeutic value for cannabinoid drugs, particularly for symptoms such as pain relief, control of nausea and vomiting, and appetite stimulation." And more. Visit - medicalm.htm

[pic] Proven : Cannabis is Safe Medicine by Ian Williams Goddard | In reaction to medical cannabis access referendums on the ballots in Arizona and California, former presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and George Bush signed a letter stating that they "categorically oppose'' access to cannabis for its many proven therapeutic uses such as the prevention of blindness and epileptic seizures. Their chief concern was that legal medical access would send the message that cannabis is safe. The presidents can, however, lay their safety concerns to rest because the scientific literature overwhelmingly confirms that cannabis is both an effective and safe medicine. The Cannabis Safety Profile. The journal PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEWS reports that decades of research prove that, "Compared with legal drugs...marijuana does not pose greater risks." Yet based upon mortality statistics, we can safely conclude that cannabis is one of the safest medical drugs known, for, while prescription drugs, defined as safe by the FDA, kill up to 27,000 and aspirin up to 1,000 Americans per year, cannabis kills 0 per year.
