Attn: All Colorado Medical Marijuana Patients ~ Call The Colorado Senate Health and Human Services Committee

We need to defeat SB109* in Committee. If we do, this may stop the onslaught of other bills coming from law enforcement. If SB109 passes, it may be the beginning of the end for patients' safe access to their medicine in Colorado, as more and more restrictive bills will be introduced. Please join us, All together in show of support!

What: Health and Human Services Committee Hearing on SB109
When: Wed., Jan. 27 @ 11:00 a.m.
Where: Capitol's Old Supreme Court Chambers
2nd Floor on the North Side of the Capitol

For last-minute updates and changes, call the Bill Room:
(303) 866-3055

SB109
- Raises the costs to patients by requiring extra exams and record keeping
- Raises the costs to patients by not allowing their previous medical history to be used to determine whether they would benefit from medical marijuana
- Restricts the rights of patients to use their own doctor
- Allows a Medical Review Board to override the decision of a qualified physician that someone under 21 might benefit from the use of medical marijuana.
- Is discriminatory, because no other medicine in the state is regulated so
harshly
