Action Alert

Next Tuesday, March 23, the Public Safety Committee is expected to vote on A.B. 1811.

A.B. 1811, authored by Asm. Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco), would amend the state's drug paraphernalia laws to allow the sale of items used by patients to legally ingest medical marijuana.

Many items used for medical marijuana, such as vaporizers and water pipes, are currently sold as tobacco products, but retailers are not permitted to supply information about how these products work with marijuana.

You can help make sure this legislation is passed by taking just a few minutes to check whether of not your representative is on the Public Safety Committee, and if he or she is, calling his or her office to express support for the bill.

Calling is easy if you use MPP's online action center. Just enter the requested information and your legislator's name and contact details will be provided along with a script to help guide you through your call. You can read the entire text of the bill here.

Thank you for helping to bring our state's outdated paraphernalia statutes into line with the compassionate medical marijuana law.
