I agree with you on this one. Did you know that the Democratic Party adopted a resolution, which includes supporting legislation to remove criminal penalties for bona fide patients and providers of therapeutic marijuana. The Party Platform also reflects this same sentiment by adopting a plank under the section - A Patient’s Bill of Rights, which states:
Medical decisions regarding all effective treatment options must be made by medical doctors in consultation with their patients, not insurance company accountants, or government bureaucrats.
You should see about contacting this group and see if you can get some materials you can hand out at that town hall meeting, that would give the other side.
