These seems to be quite a bit of support for cannabis in the "Lincoln State". Many supporters of SB1381 are getting prepared as we await the 3rd Reading in the IL House this March.

It has already passed two committees to get this far. Meditate on seeing the Senate Bill get it's 3rd reading and not be passed by/tabled. AND get passed into law.

If you are 18 years old or older and you live in IL do the following:


1. Call your Congressman's office and ask to speak with your congressman. At this point you will most likely be talking with an office staffer.

2. Let his staffer know that your a constituent in the congressmans district. Give your REAL name and address. Do not be afraid to give your real info. Otherwise it is a complete waste of your dime and eventually you're going to be busted with weed cause it's STILL ILLEGAL unless everyone who has ever toked, smoked, coughed & choked do something about the sensless war on a weed.

3. State the Bill # it's name and that your would like him to vote in the bill to law because . . . ( add your resoning here in three basic sentences and then immeadiately proceed to step 4.

4. Ask for a written response to your inquiry and the congressman's position on the bill.

5. KISS - Keep it simple stupid. DON'T CALL STONED. This congressmans office is too busy to spend more than 3 or 4 minutes with you on the phone.

6. THANK THE STAFFER FOR THEIR TIME. VERY IMPORTANT!


Do IT! and we can stop doing this :wall:.

:peace: & :leaf:

thanks for the kudos, plz feel free to rep me, I'm a newbie but I'm not new.

And as far as the tweaks . . . I agree but from what I've seen it will be somewhere between 5-7 plants and 2 oz useable. maybe even 3 mature and 3 immature. At any rate, I'm just praying that it doesn't get passed over.

And I read the bill, the only thing I noticed was dispensairy inspections. I didn't see anything at all about home inspections. DID I MISS THAT?

:peace:

Quote from Bill "Provides that medical cannabis organizations are subject to random inspections rather than reasonable inspections."

Not sure what will be considered an organization? Growers? Supplier? Users? Maybe all

I'm pretty sure it mean business/commercial based dispensaries and no personal growing. I'm really not thinking random inspections means homes. That would like saying if you get a script for VICs the DEA could come into your home.

hope it goes through. then the rest of the states will start joining in.
Would like to see them fall like dominos. But I can say with utmost confidence that states will legalize it when they can see that more money can be made from selling it (taxing) than persecuting pot smokers.

If you can't beat'em . . . join'em and then beat'em down.

I hope all the Illinois tokers will call.

This bill is important for a lot of reasons not just to benefit us stoners.

We are currently taking care of a close relative that is getting radiation treatment daily and khemoonce a week. Doc said it’s too bad we didn’t live in Cali some good herb would help the nausea from the treatment and give him an appetite he has lost 60 pounds in 4 weeks from the sickness radiation causes. I tried to get him to smoke some but he’s old and set in his ways didn’t want to do anything that was illegal.

Man what a shame! This is an perfect example of why we need this. Exactly like you said . . . NOT JUST FOR STONERS.

PLEASE IF EVERYONE CAN SITE YOUR REAL LIFE EXAMPLES LIKE THIS OF WHY CANNABIS IS GOOD FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES.

IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT SPENDING MONEY ON HUNTING, CAPTURING AND THE JAILING OF SIMPLE POT SMOKERS.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS EXAMPLE SQUIRREL.

Ok, so Illinois may pass a law allowing patients to receive, posess, grow and use marijuana, but so what? In my personal opinion, it will be just as hard to get MMJ prescribed from your doctor as it would be to have your doc prescribe you Oxycontin, or any other narcotic. Just because it may wind up in pharmacies does NOT mean doctors are gonna be throwing scripts for it to anyone. If you've ever been arrested for any drug related charge, you will still have to buy from the street. Just like other prescription narcotics. Don't get me wrong, i'd rather buy from a pharmacy. I've been diagnosed Bipolar and PTSD, and i'm sure my doctor would rather have me eating valium or xanax everyday than smoking weed.
