Hearing Set On Medicinal Marijuana Act Bill HB2610

[Ganjarden]

Kansas - I am excited to finally share with you some positive news regarding the Medical Marijuana Act Bill HB2610. This week on the front page of the USA Today there was an article regarding “State Actions on Legalizing Marijuana” and they mentioned Kansas with a brief quote from Rep. Gail Finney . Also, yesterday evening, the Kansas Health and Human Services Committee Chairwoman Brenda Landwehr scheduled an “Informational presentation on medicinal marijuana” for Wednesday, March 17th at 1:30 pm in room 784 at the Docking Building.

As you may know, for weeks now, many of us have emailed and called our legislators and senators asking for a hearing on the bill. Please note that this is not an official hearing. It will not result in any votes from the committee to pass the bill on to the House floor for a debate. It is merely a beginning and a presentation to inform the Kansas Health and Human Services Committee as to why we need the Medical Marijuana Act in Kansas.

This presentation will be a great opportunity for us to raise the awareness of medical marijuana and to hopefully enlighten and educate some of our legislative leaders in regards to the unlimited benefits of medical marijuana in Kansas. Currently, we have several speakers lined-up to speak on different topics that relate to medical marijuana. However, if you are interested in speaking, or know of someone who would like to speak, please email Rep. Gail Finney or give Rep. Gail Finney a call at 316.768.0615. Your testimony will need to be in written format and submitted 24 hours in advance.

We would really like to pack the room on Wednesday, March 17th! So, if you are available please come out and support us. For your information, Rep. Gail Finney attached a copy of the Medical Marijuana Act Bill HB2610, and a copy of the USA Today article. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact your state representative .

Kansas 84th District 1754 N. Madison Ave. Wichita, KS 67214
