They are lucky if they catch something on the News or in the Paper and we all know what kind of information they are getting there, slanted.
From the meeting we have a list of over 400 dispensaries in Colorado we were all given a section of that list to call and inform them of what is happening with 1284, that there are still 6 representatives we still may be able to convince to Vote no therefore killing the bill for this session that ends this Wednesday. We will also be telling them of this group we have formed and what we hope to accomplish quickly. here is some of what we discussed at the meeting.
1. Pressuring these 6 representatives to vote no and the Governor to veto it if it does pass.
2. Help assist Corry and the group he has formed to fight a legal battle in whichever way they feel we can help.
3. Create a public Education Media Campaign to counter the negative press and miss information about the Medical Marijuana Movement by:
â?¢ Explaining who a medical Marijuana Patient is?
â?¢ The economic benefits to the community as a whole legalizing Medical Marijuana & Industrial Hemp
â?¢ The cost to society of current Cannabis Prohibition.

This is a rough idea of what went down we have allot of talent already assembled ( IT, web design, Audio/Visual production to name a few). The idea is to get the word out and for those people to get the word out. We all just need to agree that HB-1284 is a very bad Bill and should not be passed and we should all stand together to defeat it. After that we can all go back to the drawing board and try to come up with real common sense regulation that protects the patients and all the folks that donâ??t have big money but still have big dreams.
