W.VA. GROUP PURSUES MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION

We are a small group of individuals who have joined together with the
purpose of letting our governor and our legislative leaders know of our
desire to have medical cannabis (marijuana) legalized. We have dubbed our
group "Mountaineers for Medical Cannabis."

We are committed to help educate our fellow West Virginians about the many
beneficial uses of this God-given herb and to create a forum of voter
information.

We have spent many, many hours researching, attending rallies and marches
in other states, and in correspondence with Gov. Bob Wise and our
legislative representatives. Their replies indicate that they are willing
to listen, but in Wise's own words, "there are not that many West
Virginians clamoring for it."

It is our belief that if those West Virginians were not in fear of losing
jobs, of losing their families, homes and other possessions and fear of
incarceration, many more would come forth "clamoring" in favor of medical
cannabis. It is time for those West Virginians in need, and those who
believe in that need, to be heard!

We can be contacted at: Mountaineers for Medical Cannabis, P.O. Box 1151,
Parkersburg, WV 26102-1151.
