{Denver} -- On January 14, Colo. Gov. Bill Ritter will give his final State-of-the-State address to the full General Assembly at 11:00am in the state Capitol Building.

Afterwards, cannabis activists will gather for a rally in Lincoln Park, facing the Capitol, and give their own address to the General Assembly on the cannabis situation in Colorado. This year, the state legislature is going to try to gut the Constitutional amendment that gave patients in Colorado the right to use cannabis as medicine. Under the guise of "regulation", there are at least two proposals that greatly estrict patients' access to their Consitutionally-protected medicine. Patients, caregivers and advocates are called upon to unite to protect the Colorado Constitution and defend Colorado's patients.

Spread the word! Lobbying tours of the Capitol will follow the rally, so this will be an opportunity for you to meet your state lawmaker and urge them to vote "No" on all the medical marijuana restrictive "regulation" bills.
