California medical cannabis patients are rallying in Sacramento on Nov. 9 against the recent attack on our medical marijuana community. The protest website states that “federal efforts to shut down licensed dispensaries in California is a full-frontal attack by the Obama Administration.” Organizers at Safe Access Now are urging patients to take a stand at this peaceful protest saying, “cutting of safe access for patients pushes those patients into an illicit market to obtain their medicine.” Organizers also urge patients to flood the White House hotline to “tell Obama to stop wasting federal enforcement resources on medical marijuana” and to “make sure that marijuana is the number one thing the President hears about.” While you’re at it, go to the website Obama set up to hear directly from the people (that’s us) at wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/petitions. Let’s get our voices heard, people!
