I checked the role call for the HB30 vote that would legalize medical marijuana, and i nnoticed that you voted no on the bill. I am emailing you to ask for your reasoning on the no vote. There are many sick people that would benefit from medical cannabis, such as aids patients, people with ncer and other debilitating illnesses. To top that off we have overcrowing prison systems and a major budget crisis in Illinois right now. Wouldnt legalization create much needed economic relief through reducing the stress on prisons by releasing non violent offenders, and creating a taxable product that can be greatly beneficial? Marijuana is much safer than cigerretes and alcohol, there has been zero deaths reported with marijuana overdose, because people cannot overdose on marijuana. It reduces anxiety, stress, increases appetite with cancer and aids patients, reduces the affects of glaucoma, and is alot safer than prescription drugs because it does not have the potentially harmful side affects.
It is time to end the failed war on drugs, and with you and other congressmens help, we can help be another leader in the fight for legalization by becoming another state with medical marijuana. Alot of people are afraid to speak up, they are looking for a leader. Be the change, support HB 30 when it comes to vote in the future. This change can happen and will happe, only with yours and a few others support.
Thank you for your time
