Re: Joint Interim Committee On Marijuana Legalization

Date: September 14, 2016

To: Senator Peter Courtney: [email protected] Representative Tina Kotek: [email protected] Senate Republican Leader Ted Ferrioli : [email protected] Senate Majority Leader Ginny Burdick: [email protected] Senator Jeff Kruse: [email protected] Senator Floyd Prozanski: [email protected] Senator Lee Beyer: [email protected] Representative Ken Helm: [email protected] Representative Ann Lininger: [email protected] Representative Carl Wilson: [email protected] Representative Peter Buckley: [email protected] Representative Andy Olson: [email protected] Committee Administrator Adam Crawford: [email protected] Committee Assistant Ashley Clark: [email protected]


Legislators,

Please accept this letter as a matter of record. I hereby oppose the dissolution of the Joint Interim Committee On Marijuana Legalization. I respectfully request all members of this committee, to urge Senator Courtney and Representative Kotek to keep this committee intact. As each of you are aware, this committee has invested a tremendous amount of time and energy to become better educated and informed about the Cannabis Industry. Creating multiple new committees to handle all further rule making would be a major setback to the success of the program. This committee has gained more knowledge than any other Senator or Representative in the House and WE THE PEOPLE do not feel that this decision and rule making process should be in the hands of officials that do not have an understanding of this industry. This committee has listened to the voice of the people, and together we have worked tirelessly to create better rules. If you take this committee away, WE THE PEOPLE will lose our voice!! Each of you took an oath, stating “I, do solemnly swear, that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter.” Therefore it is your duty to defend the WILL OF THE PEOPLE! As your constituent, voter, citizen and member of the OMMP, we respectfully request that you keep the Joint Interim Committee On Marijuana Legalization intact.


Expeditiously Execute our Intentions in this Letter, Signed_______________________________________________________

I honestly did not think this would gain so much steam but it is really happening and the momentum feels so surreal right now. It makes me realize how much people actually care about these committee decisions since it is just so easy for them to get lost in the shuffle otherwise.

Removing growers for patients from OHA and pushing us into the OLCC is going to kill hundreds of people.. Literally "kill" people due to no access to medication that regulates their diabetes or stops their seizures.

We patients have been ripped off for years, and we need a voice. Enough is enough, don't just push us to the rec crowd - that isn't us.

Please keep ommp I have many friends and patients that depend on this for keeping a healthy life without opiates. Many have almost been killed by opiates and are drug free other than use of this natural wonder. Please don't turn your back on those with little or no voice Dr Matthew Richardson

I am saddened by the fact that most all sources for Medical Marijuana have taken a backseat to "recreational and it's ability to tax"! We need our rights to continue to be protected and represented! We are our own entity and have been since 1998!

As the caregiver of my husband who has just been diagnosed with another liver cancer. He now has 2 in the liver. This is the only treatment for him. The only one. We have to be able to keep his MM status. Do not dissolve the medical program.
