  • #sb34 sailed through the SENATE GOVERNANCE AND FINANCE Committee but not without a major surprise: It was unanimous at 7-0 as Senator Jim Nielson (R) of the Conservative fourth district voted ‘aye’ on his first cannabis bill ever. Why? Because it was highlighted, this isn’t about cannabis. This is about giving veterans and non-veteran patients a choice over addictive opioids, anti-depressants that cause suicidal thoughts or any of the myriad of pills 💊 whose side effects include #addiction , #suicide & #overdose Voting #aye on SB-34 is #riskreduction and the definition of loving our veterans and loving our neighbor. @scott_wiener ty 💚from the veteran community @sean_kiernan_wfwp @wfwp_sacramento @semperhighshow #wfwp #wfwproject #wfwp2019 #warriorsleadtheway #warriorsfightforwhatisright #dubnation #goldenstatewarriors #video edited by @semperhighshow

  • 💚👍🏼💪🏽✊🏽 CHARLIE CRIST INTRODUCES BIPARTISAN BILL TO PROTECT VETERANS TREATMENT OPTIONS Washington, DC - Today, Congressman Charlie Crist (D-St. Petersburg) announced introduction of the Fairness in Federal Drug Testing Under State Laws Act (H.R.1687). The bill, co-led by Congressman Don Young (R-AK), would protect veterans' cannabis treatment options and their ability to be employed by the federal government. "The Weed For Warriors Project applauds Representative Crist and Representative Young for introducing H.R.1687, a much-needed next step for our disabled veterans on the road to recovery. While we have seen great progress for disabled veterans wishing to choose legal cannabis over pharmaceuticals, we have not seen employers embracing disabled veterans’ right to choose cannabis – creating a roadblock to the dignity of employment for too many,” said Sean Kiernann, CEO of the Weed for Warriors Project. “Rep Crist’s bill will remove cannabis as a prohibitive factor in Federal employment without endangering the public’s safety – allowing our Great Country to respect the sacrifice our heroes made when they stood up for Freedom. We urge a ‘yes’ vote on H.R.1687. It is one of the most important votes our leaders can take in re-enfranchising our disabled veterans into the community.” #wfwp #wfwproject #wfwp2019 #crist
  • @wfwp_sacramento - March Sacramento Meeting! Spread the word. Make sure you know where! #wfwp #veteranshelpingveterans #veteransforcannabis #WORSETHAN22ADAY
  • California’s AB 1530 or the “Unauthorized cannabis activity reduction grants: local jurisdiction restrictions on cannabis delivery.” does veterans and patients dirty. #toomany are without legal access in California; be it Prop 64’s prohibition zones covering 80% of the State or prohibition via cost due to over taxation and regulation we are seeing. Make no mistake, the supporters of #AB1530 are supporting denying disabled veterans and patients access to the legal market. That has the very real effect of leaving those that depend on cannabis as a medicine two stark choices: Access cannabis from the “black” market or revisit Big Pharma’s addictive and deadly grip of suicide and overdose. If those two choices are not bad enough, #AB1530 then hands out grants to local communities for enforcement crackdowns on the illicit market 🤬😤🤯There is something awfully perverse about denying access or pricing patients out of the legal market, then criminalizing them for making the rational and moral decision for themselves and their families. Prepare to fight 💪🏽✊🏽☠️ against the monied interest who use #kstreet to purchase the legislative process and intimidate the sick and disabled into submission #nomore #peopleovertaxes #peopleoverprofits #wfwp #wfwp2019 #wfwproject #kencooley #ab1530 #badbill
