APPROVE MEDICINAL POT

The administration of George W. is now trying to stop a political movement
on medical marijuana in California. But after all the latest busts in San
Francisco, we want to bring the issue of distribution back to the voters.
In a poll cited by the California Medical Association approximately 75
percent of all Americans support medical marijuana, a much higher
proportion of the populace than voted for President Bush.

This initiative would require California, and any of the other seven states
where medical marijuana is legal, to first petition the federal government
for a legal source of medical marijuana. The initiative would not permit
interstate distribution, in order to avoid conflict with federal laws
regulating interstate commerce.
