Hopefully with him running for governor (McBerry is our friend), someone will get elected in the 9th that is a little more open-minded... Harry I gave you my card at the meeting, e-mail me about the message forum. Christopher,

ALSO a bill making non-violent misdemeanors including possession of less than an ounce NON-ARRESTABLE and NON-JAILABLE offenses. This would make getting busted just like a speeding ticket and allow a "tax" on marijuana possession. Ultimately, of course, we want nothing less than full legalization.

How come only aids, cancer and glaucoma patients only get relief when there are other illnesses that MMJ can treat? Wisconsin has added PTSD to their list of illnesses/disabilities to treat on it's proposed bill. Also there needs to be a bill that CLEARLY states how a med patient is able to obtain their meds. If you want a good guidline to follow to write up the laws in Georgia, check out OMMP in Oregon. They have one of the best programs right now. Patients need to be able to grow their own meds, and the laws need to be clear on how dispenseries/compassionate club will be operated so that we don't run into problems in the future of the law not being clear enough, because that is what is happening in CA right now. Decrim is not the answer in my opinion, med patients need protection from jail time! And lets not limit who can get a med card to just aids, cancer and glaucoma!

I'm gonna draft such a bill and post it here. Chris, I would love to have your help with either this site or some other online forum for intelligent discussion about proposed legislation. Pls email to ganorml@gmail.com your private email so we can talk.
