The people of Kansas are suffering from debilitating conditions that could be alleviated by access to safe, legal medical cannabis. As my elected official, I ask you to support this historic legislation and to urge Senate President Ty Masterson to get this bill across the finish line in the Conference Committee. Too many of our neighbors have to rely on opioids and other pharmaceuticals, when medical cannabis could bring them relief without the dangers of addiction and overdose. None of the 37 sates that have medical cannabis programs are trying to get rid of their programs. This is not a back door to legalization; under this bill, patients could not even smoke their medical cannabis. No Republican legislature has ever legalized cannabis, and I do not expect Kansas to be the first. What I do want is for my fellow suffering Kansans is access to safe and lab-tested products that will improve their quality of life. Can I count on you to support the will of the people? Please do everything in your power to make sure that Kansans get access to safe, legal medical cannabis. Thank you.
