Thank you for your email concerning SB 349 decriminalizing the possession of marijuana in small amounts. In the past, on at least three occasions, I have voted to legalize marijuana for medical use and would be willing to consider SB 349.
I am reviewing information from Massachusetts and the impact of this legislation in view of federal law. As the session proceeds, I will evaluate the material and make a final decision on the bill. I appreciate your contribution to these discussions and will keep your thoughts in mind as we move forward.
Sincerely,
Donald DeFronzo
State Senator 6th

I am the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" for my work producing Oregon NORML's TV show, "A Cannabis Community Forum", and for helping to institute Portland's wildly successful medical marijuana cardholders meetings, where we help sick and disabled Oregonians acquire cannabis plant starts, learn gardening, and understand the medical marijuana law. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to be our daily voice.
