It’s important times for medical marijuana in Kansas. I was on Facebook earlier today and saw a friend post something about a rally this week in Kansas in support of medical marijuana. I put the scoop down below, courtesy of the hard working people at the
Kansas Medical Cannabis Network:
YOU Are NEEDED In Topeka JAN 24, 2012!
Will 2012 be the year medical cannabis finally comes to Kansas?NOT WITHOUT YOUR HELP! Our first big chance will be on Jan 24 at the capitol in Topeka, when the House Health and Human Services (HHS) Committee will give HB2330, filed during the last session, a long-awaited hearing. It is not too early to get your signs ready to rally!IT COULD NOT BE MORE IMPORTANT that every Kansan who wants Kansas to be a medical marijuana state be there that day to fill the hearing room, the halls outside, and picket on sidewalks around the capitol. We need a HUGE crowd in Topeka demonstrating once and for all that Kansas residents DO care–a lot–about this issue! More details to come. Please also contact the
Kannabis Project for rally information.
But before that….on Fri, Jan 13 we will be rallying at the intersection of Broadway and Douglas in downtown Wichita at 11:20am. Meanwhile, inside the Bank of America building, Kansas Speaker of the House, Mike O’Neal (the person who determines which legislative proposals will be heard before the individual committees) addresses the noon meeting of the much-esteemed Pachyderm Club. Speaker O’Neal allegedly has said that there will be no medical marijuana in Kansas while he is in office, while Rep Brenda Landwehr has allegedly said that there is no interest in medical marijuana among voters. Let’s make this Friday the 13th one the Speaker and the Representative won’t soon forget!
