I urge Vermont senators not to accept the proposed amendment to S.216, which would restrict the ability of medical marijuana patients - who now may grow two mature plants and up to seven immature plants - to the right to grow only two mature plants and four immature plants. The bill would also pare down the ability of medical marijuana patients to possess 2 ounces to 1 ounce.

My husband is a medical marijuana patient. He suffers from two distinct medical conditions that qualify him for a medical marijuana card. He has worked hard and studied hard to locate and grow various strains that relieve his symptoms.
