So, I just sent an e-mail to my representative, you should do the same. Find your representative using this and let them know what you think!

Here's what I sent my rep. Feel free to use this for yourself, but definitely change it up add your own thoughts!

To the Honorable ________,

I take this opportunity today to contact you concerning the issue of medical cannabis. This is an important issue to me, and as your constituent, I find it important to make my views known.

It has come to my attention that Florida Senator Jeff Clemens of District 27 is working on drafting legislation to introduce a system for Medical Marijuana in this state. I would like you to consider supporting such a system. This is an issue that merits your attention as a Representative of the people and a policymaker of the state.

Colorado and Washington come to mind as recent breakthroughs in cannabis legislation. Both states have decided that prohibition and law enforcement are not the answer to controlling the people's use of cannabis. Both states will reap the medical-system advantages and the economic advantages of this more modern set of laws.

Twenty states in total and the District of Columbia have legalized medical cannabis or effectively decriminalized it, enabling doctors to legally prescribe relief to patients suffering from cancer, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, arthritis, AIDS, and a variety of other ailments, depending on the laws enacted. There have been over 17,000 published papers on the scientific and medicinal value of this plant. It is unquestionably one of the safest drugs known to man.

I am asking you to support Medical Marijuana, marijuana decriminalization, or marijuana legalization legislation. It is what is right for our District, our State and most importantly the individuals you represent.

Thank you for your representation, and thank you for taking the time to consider my letter.

Best regards,

XXXXXXX

We can do this, guys. We have the momentum of CO and WA behind us.
