Minnesotans for Compassionate Care is a coalition of organizations, medical professionals, patients, and concerned citizens working to protect people with cancer, multiple sclerosis, HIV/AIDS, glaucoma, and other serious illnesses from arrest and prison for using medical marijuana on their physicians' recommendation.
Seriously ill patients who use medical marijuana under their doctors' supervision currently risk criminal penalties and the threat of jail in Minnesota. MCC is working to enact a medical marijuana law based on compassion and common sense, so that medical marijuana patients will not be forced to live in fear simply for using the medicine that eases their pain and, in many cases, allows them to live normal lives.
In a series of historic votes last year, Minnesota’s medical marijuana bill passed the Senate floor and every committee in the House. Legislators will take our bill up again in the coming months, and we need to build a real grassroots movement to push it over the edge. We have never been this close to a compassionate medical marijuana law in the state and need all supporters to get involved today!
