CANNABIS GROWING RULES LEAVE PATIENTS IN A LURCH

How many of us give to the American Cancer Society for breast cancer 
awareness and research? Do you march and attend fundraising events in 
support of research to develop cures and treatments? If you do, you 
give of your funds and your time because you care about those you might help.

There are folks in Butte County who need the same type of help. We 
are cannabis patients. We have all sorts of conditions that "big 
pharma" has been unsuccessful in treating effectively and we have 
turned to cannabis. We're your parents, siblings, your doctor, nurse, 
lawyer, store owner, etc.

Since the implementation of Measure A, I will not have access to the 
cannabis I need and am entitled to possess under California's 
Proposition 215. The Butte County Board of Supervisors are working 
very diligently to make life harder for the very patients in Butte 
County that this proposition was designed to help and protect.

Prohibition = failure.
