A FRONT FOR FULL LEGALIZATION
The Wisconsin Narcotics Officers Association agrees with state Rep. Leah Vukmir ( R-Wauwatosa ) that medical marijuana is a "facade."
Testimony that is based on science clearly shows that marijuana is a marginal painkiller at best, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not approve it, and if Wisconsin passes legislation, our laws would become contrary to federal law.
The parade of people with real medical concerns at the Madison hearing on Senate Bill 368 and Assembly Bill 554 was sad, because those backing this effort are using them to reach their goal of expanded legal marijuana use.
Behind the scene, NORML ( National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Law ) is driving the engine, and the sick as well as well-meaning lawmakers are being used.
Polls show Wisconsinites are behind medical marijuana, I suggest dropping the word medical and ask our citizenry if we want marijuana.
Make no mistake, this is a foot in the door. It is marijuana legislation, and it is not genuine to refer to it as medical.

Jacki Rickert MMJ Act Hearing Recap & Action Alert
Posted by Gary Storck
Tuesday, Dec. 22, 2009
Below you will find a recap of the Dec. 15, 2009 combined committee hearing as well as an action alert on how to help pass the JRMMA. As always, visit JRMMA.org for the latest news and information.
MADISON: Support from hearing attendees was overwhelming, and media interest high, for the Dec. 15 combined committee hearing on the Jacki Rickert Medical Marijuana Act. The JRMMA, Assembly Bill 554/Senate Bill 368), is sponsored by Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Madison) and Sen. Jon Erpenbach (D-Waunakee). A sampling of coverage is linked from JRMMA.org. The entire 8 hour hearing can be viewed online on Wisconsin Eye.
Those arriving close to the hearings start time found the large hearing room standing room only, with attendees crowding hallways leading in to the hearing room.
The final tally for the day was 57 who attended registered in support, with only one registered against. 48 people testified in support, with only 5 against. Those five were Dr. Michael Miller, State Medical Society, Kevin St. John, Wisconsin DOJ on behalf of AG Van Hollen, Charles Wood, Wisconsin Narcotics Officer Association, Robert Block, State of Wisconsin Controlled Substances Board and the fifth was a private citizen.
While media focused on negative comments from Rep. Leah Vukmir (R-Wauwatosa), The Medical Society's Dr. Michael Miller and other naysayers, eloquent testimony was heard from patient after patient who stayed long after the reporters left. It was a testimony itself to the toughness of this room of survivors that they came out on such a cold day and waited in pain long hours to testify. These stories of courage in the face of great adversity are emblematic of the Wisconsin spirit.
What comes next?
The two committees, the Assembly Committee on Public Health and the Senate Committee on Health, Health Insurance, Privacy, Property Tax Relief, and Revenue must now deliberate and vote on the bills. Only when the bills are voted out of committee will the JRMMA move to the floor of each chamber, the Assembly and the Senate, for a floor vote.
What you can do:
Please call your representative and senator. If they already are sponsors or co-sponsors, please thank them. If they aren't, let them know you are disappointed and ask them to support compassionate medical marijuana policy. If you live in the district of any committee members, please contact them and ask that they vote for the JRMMA when the committee votes on the bill sometime after the holidays. Please contact IMMLY at immly@immly.org with any information on your contact with the legislator. We need to develop a network of calls and contacts to make sure legislators support this bill. We need to know who says they support it and who is against. Let us know about fence-sitters who may just need more info. This goes for both committee members as well as all lawmakers. If they are against, ask for reasons why. If you can provide any info on a lawmakers position whatsoever, please let IMMLY know at immly@immly.org
Here is a list of the committees and members:
Health Committees and Members from combined public hearing on JRMMA on Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2009 who must now debate JRMMA and vote on it in committee:
Wisconsin State Senate Committee on Health, Health Insurance, Privacy, Property Tax Relief, and Revenue
Senator Jon Erpenbach (Chair)
Senator Tim Carpenter (Vice-Chair)
Senator Judith Robson
Senator Julie Lassa
Senator Mary Lazich
Senator Ted Kanavas
Senator Alberta Darling

Good morning All, I read Leah Vurkmir voted against the public tobbacco law,a nurse i remind you. This lady is shady as they come. I hope she doesnt get relected. Leah Vurkmir,,Pat Strachota, Ted Canavas, are three pepole that seem very closed minded..lets send them some letters...Jimi
Leah Vukmir is an assembly person who has no future in the assembly, she is grand standing and drawing attention to herself as she prepares for her Senate run against Sullivan in the Milw area (Wauwatosa) I think....so she must not be relected.....make sure anyone in her district (which the senate district is larger then her assembly) lets her know that she will not have a job in Wisconsin legislation with her attitude, not to mention voting record and overall compassion, nurse, yeah right.
Holiday break over...back to work......any questions?
I have question. WTF is a 'holiday break'?

Time to start making history.
Saw this on the Immy site this morning....maybe a good way to pay tribute to a veteran and cannabis activist...and why you are down there, lobby your legislator to vote YES to the JRMMA!
http://www.immly.org/Jan2010_lobby_day.htm
There will be a memorial tribute at the State Capitol on Jan. 20th for Mary Powers and other patients who ran out of time before the law could be changed to protect them. [FONT=MS Sans Serif, Arial]The memorial will be immediately followed by a Medical Cannabis Lobby Day for AB554/SB368 the Jacki Rickert Medical Marijuana Act. Those who cannot make it to the Capitol are asked to call in as well as recruit others to make legislators phones ring all day with calls of support for the JRMMA. [/FONT]
[FONT=MS Sans Serif, Arial]The program runs from 12-1pm in the second floor rotunda and will feature Jacki Rickert, Gary Storck and other advocates along with singer-songwriter Rick Harris doing a solo acoustic version of his song, "Legal Medicine Blues". Visit your State Assembly Representative and State Senator after the program.[/FONT]
