CALL THE SENATE HHS 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.
ATTEND THE HEARING ON WEDNESDAY!!!
The Denver Post reported today that the Hearing on Senate Bill 109 will be this week: Senate bill aims to clarify doctor-patient relationship concerning medical marijuana - The Denver Post
Senate Health and Human Services Committee Hearing on SB109 Wed., Jan. 27, 2010
11:00 a. m. Health and Human Services Committee 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
Please show up early to testify against this bill. SB109 is bad for patients because it:
- Raises the costs to patients by requiring extra exams and recordkeeping
- 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
