LEGALIZE MEDICAL CANNABIS
We are a small group of individuals here in Parkersburg 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." MMC is
committed to help educate 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 Gov. Wise and representatives for the
8th District.
Their replies indicate that they are willing to listen, but in Gov. Wise's
own words "there are not that many West Virginians clamoring for it."
It is our belief that if those West Virginian's were not in fear of losing
jobs, of losing their families, homes, and other possessions and fear of
incarceration, that many more would come forth "clamoring" in favor of
medical cannabis.
We are presently working at obtaining and printing educational/informative
pamphlets for distribution. We can be contacted at Mountaineers for Medical
Cannabis, P.O. Box 1151, Parkersburg, WV 26102-1151.
It is time for those West Virginian's in need and those who believe in that
need to be heard.
