Besides showing your support by displaying a sign on your car or in your
home, we encourage you to write your lawmakers to let them know your feelings on the subject.
Believe it or not, letters to Congress get read. Representatives generally
want to do what is best for their constitutients. Besides encouraging those around you to face this issue
with your car magnet, you sending a letter can make a difference.
We could provide a form letter for you to point and click an email to your
representatives, but they tend to be ignored as spam. There is a letter below that you can copy and
paste into a letter you send. But we encourage you to modify this letter to your personality and aims.
For instance, if you think that cannabis should be as legal as tomatoes, meaning that there are no restrictions on
you or anyone else growing all they want, let your representatives know. If you think that cannabis should be
a included only as a potential ingredient in controlled medications, let them know that. If you believe that
cannabis should be exterminated fully from the earth and all infractions of its prohibition should result in
immediate beheading, let them know that. But you'll probably want to make liberal edits of the letter below
if that is your stance.
Be sure to replace the fields in the brackets {your name e.g.} with the
appropriate information.

Here is a letter that we recommend you send. As we said, please feel free to
edit it to fit your message.

To the Honorable {put name here}
I write you today to urge you to work for and support a repeal to
the inclusion of cannabis as a Schedule 1 drug as defined by the Drug Enforcement Agency's schedule
of restricted substances.
Recent and ancient studies and anecdotal evidence have shown that
cannabis (also known as marijuana) has great potential as a cure for many types of cancer as well
as other maladies that afflict humans indiscriminately. As a matter of fact, crude
cannibis has been shown to be very effective at killing cancer cells while leaving the surrounding
cells unaffected.
This has been the whole strategy, the Holy Grail if you will, of
cancer research.
This treatment is available now to individuals with many types of
cancer to grow, process and use without any need of Government regulation or Government
payment. Not only could the Medicare deficit be erased, but the whole imbalance of health
care as a percentage of GDP could be brought into balance.
Please act with all due haste to make cannabis not only completely
legal, but encourage its use and growth on America's farms. We as a country cannot afford to
waste this national resource for another minute or millenia.
Thank you,
{your name}
{your address}
{your city}
{your state and zip code}
{your phone number}
