Tell Governor Dayton to stop treating marijuana as a dangerous drug. It is a potent medicine that will benefit many Minnesotans. It is also time to release prisoners whose only crime was related to marijuana.

It is important to legalize medical marijuana. Bill HR1818, which would legalize marijuana has bipartisan support but Governor Dayton is expected to veto it. It is expected there will not be enough 'yes' votes to override a veto. It is also important to free prisoners whose only charge is marijuana and to expunge all records with marijuana offenses.
