Re: House Bill 1393 Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act
Dear [Representative or Senator's last name]:
I'm writing to ask your support for HB 1393, the Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act introduced by Representative Mark Cohen and referred to the Committee on Health and Human Services.
[Why this bill is important to you, and stories of people you know who might benefit.]
I agree with Mr. Cohen's statements that medical marijuana is "an idea whose time has come," that now is the time for "cures, not wars on patients," and that we need to have a "new, honest image of marijuana."
Thank you for considering my views on this bill.
Sincerely,
[YOUR NAME]
