By signing this petition you are stating that:
1. I support the establishment and operation of a medical use of marijuana dispensary in Haverhill, Massachusetts so that patients suffering from serious illnesses such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, ALS, multiple sclerosis, and other debilitating diseases can have safe access to the medicine recommended by their doctor, and;
2. I believe it is the responsibility of the elected officials in Haverhill to implement and regulate a medical use of marijuana dispensary as approved by over 63% of the voters in the City.

Elected officials in Haverhill are still stalling on this issue despite the clear mandate from voters. Call your city councilor today to demand they stop blocking medical access for patients in need. Post this link on your Facebook page to show them that our community expects action.

Medical cannabis has proven to benefit thousands in the Commonwealth. Many have reduced, eliminated or avoided narcotics with cannabis. City leaders in Haverhill have an opportunity to relieve suffering, reduce opioid dependance and set an example with a secure, regulated medical cannabis facility.
I am not a Haverhill resident, but I am a resident of a nearby town who would likely utilize the Haverhill medical marijuana dispensary in order to purchase medicine to treat my Multiple Sclerosis.
Working for a Medical Marijuana Dispensary currently I can argue that we have made a considerable impact for the better in the state of Vermont. It will be great to see a well-thought-out plan and medical approach in Massachusetts before a recreational/completely legal adult use approach.
The medicinal benefits are extraordinary. A dispensary has less inventory than department stores, less cash on hand than a supermarket, and more security than a bank. I support Medicinal Cannabis.
I have crohn's diease and need this to treat my diease. I have used all medications available to me, this is the only thing I can use that has no ill side effects and helps me a great deal. I need to have access to a dispensary as well as others with medical conditions. in other states that have medical marijuana, 25 percent fewer people die from opioid overdoses annually. The law passed to allow it so why not bring a business to haverhill that will benfit our community. We need safe access to our medication!
we need safe access now!
I have a friend that used to live in Haverhill until recently. He commited suicide, he was a vet that could have benefitted from access to this therapy.

Stop delaying, people are suffering and Dying in Haverhill daily. I am the next town over, I see with my own eyes. Perhaps if people had SAFE access to therapeutic plants, there would be less self medicating with opiates and pills. enough is enough.
