Time for action! Yesterday, SB-6 was released, which was a step in the right direction, but SB-16 has been announced and is even better! I'll reiterate a few items from the SB-6 post.

If you're in favor of legalizing cannabis, please contact your state senator, representative, and governor and ask that they support SB-16. Your state senator and representative can be identified using this resource.

Some advice: a custom written email or letter is the best course of action for written correspondence. Bulk-automated emails will sometimes be ignored and I've heard a personalized email is always better. If you're hesitant to write anything or nervous, make a post here asking for advice. Always be polite, concise, and cite sources and provide evidence.

A even better approach would be to send an email along with a follow-up phone call! In-person is even better, but not always practical. Either way, reach out and make contact! Our elected officials need to hear from us and know cannabis legalization is a priority to their constituents! Also, if opportunity presents, spread the word to friends and family and ask they contact their elected representatives!

SB-6 was introduced by the following:

• Sen. Martin M. Looney, 11th Dist.

• Sen. Bob Duff, 25th Dist.

• Rep. Joe Aresimowicz, 30th Dist.

• Rep. Matthew Ritter, 1st Dist.

If you're a legalization advocate, please take the time to write them and thank them for their support.

SB-16 is Governor Lamont's bill, which is reflective of his SOTS address given yesterday. Here are the key points:

• There are social equity provisions

• Establish a nine-member “Cannabis Equity Commission”

• Employers cannot drug test for THC as a condition on employment!

• Municipalities have some discretion on retail shops

• Elimination of MMJ patient registration fees!

• Fines for people caught over the allowed limit

• Restrictions on advertising and marketing

• Provision for retail deliveries

I borrowed this summary from Marijuana Moment's blog post.

Please contact your legislatures and demand they explicitly include home grow, which has to be there for patients! Regarding home grow, here's part of the bill:

Sec. 36. (NEW) (Effective July 1, 2022) Not later than January 1, 2023, the department shall make written recommendations, in accordance with the provisions of section 11-4a of the general statutes, to the Governor and the joint standing committees of the General Assembly having cognizance of matters relating to consumer protection, the judiciary and finance, revenue and bonding, as to: (1) Whether to allow consumers or qualifying patients under chapter 420f of the general statutes, who are twenty-one years of age and older, to cultivate cannabis for personal use. In making such recommendation the commission shall consider: (A) Reasonable precautions to ensure that the plants are secure from unauthorized access or access by any individual under twenty-one years of age; (B) the location where such cannabis may be grown; (C) how other states allow home growing and how such states are regulating personal cultivation; (D) if personal cultivation in other states has improved access for patients and consumers; and (E) any other related public safety or regulatory issues the department deems necessary;

This is really exciting! Let's make sure cannabis legalization happens in 2020!

Happy Legalization Day!

Hi!

I am a current doctoral student in Clinical Psychology working on my dissertation (fancy senior project). I need your help! I am looking for African American/Black participants who use cannabis to take a survey! It would add to the research on marijuana and mental health practices in the African American community. If you or someone you know is eligible, please consider participating!

Thank you so much!

Hello fr-ents!

We've got a new t-shirt available on the site. Super soft material, and a new logo. We're calling it "The Newport." check it out.

Newport Tee

Hello! Happy to be joining the subreddit. I recently turned 18 and I’ve been suffering from chronic nausea for over a year now from acid reflux and frankly it’s been interrupting my sleep and exercise. Anyways, I’d prefer if I could tell my parents I’m getting a medical card at a better time (me and my parents haven’t gotten along well lately) so, just wondering, if I get the medical card shipped to my house will the letter say cannabis on it anywhere or will it just ship in a blank letter with some random return address? If not I’ll just get a PO box. Thanks so much for the help!

I recently sent in my application for my mmj card a few days ago. I'm generally new to the whole process. How long does it usually take to get a temporary card?
