Legalize Medical Cannabis In North Carolina

We the citizens of North Carolina call upon the members of the NC House to sign a discharge petition to permit a floor debate on the matter of legalizing medical cannabis.
North Carolina House Bill 577 would legalize and establish a licensing, taxing, and distribution regime.
If you are from NC please sign this petition

Bumpity bump bump bump!

Thanks to all that have signed the petition.
Please help pass the word to others about this peition

If you have friends or relatives who are "on the fence" about signing the petition, sit them down in front of a computer, click that first link in my sig, and tell them to "just read the titles"!

If they are half way sane, they will sign the petition before they get half-way through my List!

If your older relatives are against cannabis legalization, show them things like this- WebMD is a very respectable medical site and that first one is a doozie!

Marijuana May Slow Alzheimer's (news - 2006)
Marijuana May Slow Alzheimer's

"The Alzheimer's drugs Aricept and Cognex work by blocking acetylcholinesterase. When tested at double the concentration of THC, Aricept blocked plaque formation only 22% as well as THC, and Cognex blocked plaque formation only 7% as well as THC."

Ask them which would they logically prefer- a less-effective and expensive pill with several unpleasant side effects , or an easy to grow, very effective, herbal medicine with the main side effect being that it "makes you feel good"?


And then there's these, all from WebMD-

You might even make some print ups of those and leave them in local laundromats, college lounges or other places bored people gather! Once the medical facts about cannabis become known, the NEED for legalization becomes obvious!

Thanks for the support all. I've got this floating around several places on the net.

Do you have to live in North Carolina to sign this? This may be a stupid question, LOL, sorry if it is. I am tired and about to go to bed. LOL.

Oh, sorry, I do see that you have to be from NC to sign this. Wow, what was I thinking, right? Oh yeah, I was thinking that I wanted to sign this to help out but I'm sure NC will have enough people to get this too pass. Good luck NC!!!
