| In the promotion of the diary yesterday, I mentioned the good work of Montanafesto concerning the medical marijuana issue. Today, and how fitting that it comes on 4/20, they offer this:
Montana's SB 423: GOP Plan To Purge The "Scourge".
The post hits the highlights head on. SB 423 is anti-patient, it is anti-jobs, it is anti-capitalism, and it is hypocritical.
Today, SB 423 got it's hearing in Free Committee forum. The committee report has been passed on. If you'd like to know how it reads at this point, here is the text. Montanafesto is correct. SB 423 is little more than a repeal of the voter actions in favoring medical marijuana.
Where it's at now is this. The Republican control of the Mt legislature is tired from their 3 day work week, coming off their earlier vacation last weekend, so they're going to take another. No action will be taken before Tuesday of next week. That still gives you, good reader, plenty of time to call your Republican Congress people, and Larry Jent, and let them know that we want the needs of Montanans met. We don't want their pseudo-religious posturing over devil weed getting in the way of real needs. |
