To: Governor J.B. Pritzker
Tell Gov. Rauner, drop the appeal & allow medication access.
The Court has ordered the Rauner administration to add chronic pain to the list of conditions in the Illinois medical cannabis program. The administration has promised to appeal rather than allow people in pain access to medication safer than addictive opioids.
Why is this important?
If the administration won't show compassion and allow people access to safer pain relief, the General Assembly needs to. Is it a good use of state resources to appeal the court's decision on including chronic pain in the medical cannabis program? Tell Governor Rauner to drop the appeal and allow pain patients access to the medical cannabis program.
