Hey everyone, we need to let our voices be heard. We cannot let the federal government take cannabis away from those of us who have legal access, and we need to work toward the end of cannabis prohibition in states that do not. The people in legal 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. We can not keep silent.

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 we've written a quick draft below:

"Hello Congress(wo)man REPRESENTATIVENAMEGOESHERE,

I am a constituent in your district and I am writing to ask you to stand up for me and the 59 percent of Americans who support full marijuana legalization, and the 71 percent who believe that states, not the federal government, should set marijuana policy.

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 citizens for something they voted to legalize. And we can’t ignore the needs of those who haven’t had that opportunity yet.

States are meant to be democracy laboratories and by allowing the federal government to override the will of the people we are destroying the democracy experiment. I urge you to please support H.R. 975 - Respect State Marijuana Laws Act of 2017, and H.R.1227 - Ending Marijuana Prohibition 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.
