Missouri actually introduced A medical marijuana bill 2 years ago. I didn't know about it until recently. It is bill HB 1830 and the text of the bill can be viewed on mpp.org. The bill has many similarities to california's bill. It would allow for the cultivation of I think about 4 mature plants and 3 immature, something in that area. It would also allow for licensed dispensaries to oversee the distribution of the weed. Overall it looks like a step in the right direction.

One thing about these bills, is this one states it must be a non-profit transfer. This idea is impossible and completely ludicrous to impose because it basically states that dispensaries, growers etc. must work for "free". Now we all know nobody who gets into the industry is going to work for free, so why do they add things like that to the bill? This is something that will provide jobs, tax money and put more money in peoples pockets.

Go to mpp.org and write the Missouri state reps to day

I would also like to ad I have received emails back from Todd Akin, Claire McCaskill and Kit Bond, all giving me roughly the same response. None of our Missouri reps support this bill or medical marijuana, period. But hopefully with enough people writing our reps we can change the tide:hippy:
