Act now to inform and educate your community, and discuss the need for research and access to medical marijuana for those who are critically ill. Learn about Schedule I, II and III drugs. Review enclosed materials as background.

Sisterhood Action Plan:

Know your elected officials' positions on medical marijuana. 

1. If you are at a political meeting, ask questions about medical marijuana? Follow up with an information sheet about our resolution. ( Included on attached study guide)
   1. Call congresspeople and make your position clear. In the US, the Capitol Switchboard is (202)224-3121 and you can be connected to your Senator or Representative.
   2. Call the UAHC's Religious Action Center in Washington and find out if there are bills pending on the "rescheduling" of medical marijuana so that it can be used in research and be prescribed by a doctor for the chronically and critically ill.
2. Join a Medical Marijuana Political group to support change as it happens. Look on attached sheet for web pages. Be knowledgeable. Educate yourself. Educate others.
    
   
3. Grassroots movements can change policy. Communicate with people in other faith communities. How can we work together to right this wrong? How can we assist the caregivers who are trying to help those too ill with cancer or AIDS to help themselves.. They need medical marijuana to be legally prescribed by their doctors.
