| Harpers Conservatives are turning sick and dying Canadians into criminals. You heard me, about a third of medical marijuana users will become criminals in just a few weeks. Patients who had been growing their own medicine for pennies a pound are being ordered to take apart their gardens and throw away their home-grown cannabis. After April 1, they will only be allowed to possess and use cannabis grown by newly licensed companies, and sold at street prices. These changes are not going to solve any problems. Instead, they will criminalize patients, confuse law enforcement, and lead to a great deal of harm and suffering. We are launching a public outreach campaign to let people know that these changes are not only damaging to the people involved, they are also wasting even more of your tax dollars. Help us spread the word by making a small donation of $3 today. People use this plant to help alleviate a wide variety of conditions, ranging from epilepsy, cancer and AIDS to arthritis, muscle pain and migraines. With no substantial long term harm or dangerous side effects, medicinal users should be allowed to grow what a doctor prescribed them without being harassed by the federal government's new rules. The new rules will have a devastating effect on marginalized members of our society. These changes will effectively price around a third of current, legal medicinal users out of the market for their medicine. Patients who had been lawfully growing their own cannabis are being forced to choose between following the new rules and being able to afford their medicine. Some could end up going to prison, putting their lives at risk. We need people to realize what the federal government is doing. Creating more criminals will not increase public safety or make people lives easier. Help us get the message out there by making a small contribution of $3 right now. In our campaign to hold a referendum, we wanted to save taxpayer money and make BC a safer province. The upcoming changes to the medical marijuana program are one more step in the wrong direction. These regulations will clog the courts, waste police time, create criminals out of otherwise law-abiding citizens, and directly attack those who need this medicine the most. Dana Larsen Sensible BC Director P.S. Thanks to everyone who gave last month. We ended up making $6500 by the 15th and we are incredibly grateful. Our focus now is building awareness about these dangerous new medical cannabis regulations. Please consider making a $3 dollar donation to help us build the opposition. We are also encouraging people to spread the word! Please forward this email to your friends and family, and help us fight these changes. http://socialmedia.sensiblebc.ca/ |
