Stop the Oppression in Montana!

Since the inception of Senate Bill 423 on July 1, 2011 Montana medical cannabis patients and providers have been placed under severe oppression regarding their health care decisions.

In June and July 2011, the unemployment rate went up 2 points in each respective month when over approximately 950 Agricultural workers were released from their employment from dispensaries each month. These legitimate businesses had been shut down by the oppressive law, causing a financial burden to the state of Montana estimated to be at over 9 million dollars a year for each month totaling approximately a 18 million dollar unemployment debt.

Medical Cannabis Patients have been relegated to the streets and black market to find medicine, a very life threatening prospect for those with compromised immune systems needing quality, organic medicine.

Many Montana patients have died, suffering needlessly, with lack of access to medical cannabis.

The prohibitive nature of the law itself sets up anybody who participates under the current law for prosecution, as the law was designed to increase crime, rather than help the sick and infirm.

Facts were completely ignored, and medical professionals denounced during the 2011 session. Lawmakers took medicine into their own hands.

Please - sign and share this petition. Help to expose the crimes that occurred during the 62nd Montana Legislative Session.

Show them what the Code of the West is REALLY all about.

They legislated it, and in no way practiced what they preached.
