Started by: Dennis Moyers

To raise awareness of Medical Cannabis (marijuana) Laws in the 14 States where they exist. To open lines of communication between law enforcement organizations (Police, Sheriff and other appropriate agencies), Medical Practitioners and Medical Cannabis Patient Groups, nationwide. To halt the effort to make examples of seriously ill people by some government officials who do not agree with voter approved legislation allowing some patients legal protection from prosecution for using a medicinal herb in certain specific situations. Such liaison should be a valid Medical Cannabis Patient. This liaison would be in effect, a communicator for, and a representative to the Medical Cannabis Patient Community nationwide, at large.
