Hey everyone, we need to let our voices be heard. We cannot let the federal government take cannabis away from us. The people in these states have spoken, there was a vote and the people took the time out of their day to go to the polls and they said they want recreational cannabis and we will not let the federal government silence us.

Please contact your representative! Just enter your zip code, click your representatives name and you'll be taken to their website. All of them have a contact button, press that and let your representative know you want them to support state rights and defend his or her constituents voice.

Phone calls are best, letters next then e-mails! If you can please call them!

For people who don't know what to say I wrote a quick draft below:

"Hello Congress(wo)man REPRESENTATIVENAMEGOESHERE,

I am a constituent in your district and I am writing you to let you know that I want you to stand up for our state's rights and defend the voice of the people you serve who took the time from their day to go to the polls and voted to allow the use of cannabis.

Cannabis is a job creator and a multi billion dollar industry. Please, this is not a partisan issue, this is a state and democracy issue. We cannot allow the federal government to jail our citizens for something we have voted to legalize. States are meant to be democracy laboratories and by allowing the federal government to do this we are destroying the democracy experiment. I urge you to please support H.R. 975 - Respect State Marijuana Laws Act of 2017.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to what I have to say."

If you chose to e-mail you can select 'Health' 'Social Issues' or 'Other Issues' as the topic, all should be an option for every congressman.

Many of you at times may have thought, how can I help? Well this is one of those ways. This one thing will take you a couple minutes and when you're old you can tell your grandkids that you helped fight prohibition and you let your voice be heard.

EDIT: can't believe I forgot to link the bill for you all. It is very short and to the point so feel free to read it try not to mind the archaic use of the term Marihuana
