This petition is a general call for action, legislation,
and approval for Medicinal Cannabis and Industrial Hemp. There is far
beyond what should be considered ‘reasonable and sufficient evidence’
of the already present, and the potential economic and humanitarian
benefits from both of these sectors. And, that the popular, governing
opinion of our countrymen be recognized along with our Right to Self-Determination as per our Constitutional Rights, along with the rights of Safe Alternative Relief, Scientific Research, and Free Market Industry-
This document exercises our right as American Citizens to enact
Protective Legislation for Medicinal Cannabis Patients, Growers,
Proprietors, and Lenders along with a Small Business Economic Growth
Package, and Local (State) Lending and Finance Allocations for
Industrial Hemp.
We, the Citizens of the United States of America, ask that:
1. Federal Legislation be addressed which will give Medicinal Cannabis
Patients & Proprietors, as well as Commercial Farmers, (working
under State approved conditions) protection from Federal
prosecution, and reasonable defense in Federal Court based upon State
status as an approved Cannabis Patient / Provider (this defense is
currently considered inadmissible) while keeping the power to enable and
regulate such programs solely within State jurisdiction. And, that
regions which have passed popular initiatives for Medical Cannabis not
be denied this right through 'Dispensary Bans' or any other initiative /
action taken by local or federal authorities and/or legislators-
2. A regulatory agency, funded by the Tax and Certification revenue collected from the Industrial and Medicinal Sectors, which will regulate and administer certification / industry operational codes.
And, that these sectors be legislated / regulated with production
limitations, in accordance with these Small Business’ best interests,
and those of maximum employment potential-
3. A protected and private farmers/growers permitting and tax structure be constructed, (either
a blind tax collected by proprietors, or private permit, available only
by subpoena, with reasonable evidence to support tax and and/or
accordance investigation) in order to optimize tax revenue and
positive contribution from the industry, without endangering private
citizens livelihoods and/or rights-
4. That a Lending and Allocation Program
be legislated, in order to enable the start-up and development of
Industrial Hemp based Companies, Manufacturers, and Suppliers. And, that
this Lending and Allocation Program be prevented from becoming
funded by Public or Stock based entities, in order to promote maximized
small business growth and employment potential.
We believe States and Countries which have already passed Cannabis &
Hemp programs hold the torch which illuminates a brighter future for
all of us… Now is the time for us to come together to change the way our
country works, and in turn; the world. Please do your part to bring
thousands of small businesses and jobs to our country, along with the
tax revenue, spending ability increase, and overall fiscal impact which
will undoubtedly help our citizens, help patients in need of care, and
economically help revive our great nation.
