Received this from NORML today and wanted to post it up for my fellow MD friends.....contact your local reps TODAY!

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Maryland Legislature To Consider Medical Marijuana Task Force[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]On Tuesday, March 24, members of the Maryland House Judiciary will hear testimony in support of House Bill 1339, an act to create a legislative task to "study and recommend whether purchasing marijuana with a recommendation from a health care provider should be (state) law." [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The hearing will take place at 1pm. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In 2003, Maryland's legislature passed legislation that requires courts to consider a defendant's use of medical marijuana to be a mitigating factor in marijuana-related state prosecution. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The proposed task force will evaluate whether these provisions are effective, fair, and equitably applied across all jurisdictions in the state. Members of the task force will also study the ways that individuals who need therapeutic cannabis can legally procure it. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Please take a moment today to contact your elected officials and urge them to support House Bill 1339. If your representative sits on the House Judiciary Committee then it is especially important that he or she hears from you. For your convenience, a pre-written letter will be e-mailed to your state representative when you go here: [/FONT]
