RESIDENTS NEED MEDICAL POT CO-OPS

I would like to commend San Jose City Councilman Pierluigi Oliverio
for submitting his proposal to the Rules Committee last week to allow
medical cannabis cooperatives to open in San Jose.

We have not had local access to medical cannabis in San Jose since
1998, and this has presented hardships to many sick and injured residents?.

It's important that we have legal, safe and regulated access to
medical cannabis in San Jose, as many patients are financially,
physically or otherwise unable to produce their own medicine.

These patients are forced to rely on street dealers who offer no
quality control, security or patient education.

This causes much stress and worry for people who are already dealing
with serious health issues.

Thank you to Oliverio and the Rules Committee for being compassionate
and forward-thinking on this issue.
