Today’s Daily Audio Stash features a talk with Ed Orlett from Drug Policy Alliance Ohio, who has an activist alert about a hearing taking place tomorrow:
A Sponsor and Proponent Testimony Hearing for SB 343 has been scheduled by the Ohio Senate Criminal Justice Committee for 10:00 am on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 in the North Hearing Room at the Ohio Statehouse. Known as the Ohio Medical Compassion Act, SB 343 would allow patients and their caregivers to possess and cultivate marijuana to treat the patients’ serious illness. The Proponent component of this hearing will be grounded in testimony from seasoned medical professionals. If you would like to encourage your state Senator to vote for this important legislation, please visit https://ssl.capwiz.com/mpp/issues/alert/?alertid=11445816. It is hoped that this bill will be accorded swift passage in consideration of the highly successful Michigan Initiative.
Then we speak with NORML’s Deputy Director Paul Armentano on the recent announcement by the CDC that rates of cigarette smoking have been cut to their lowest recorded levels. Please click on the story at The Hill’s blog and leave a comment to show our legislators that the people are ahead of them on the marijuana debate.
