Effective of decisions made by our board of
directors, at and subsequent to our annual meeting held Tuesday, January
26, 2010, in Bee Branch, Arkansas, we wish to publicly reaffirm our
determination as an ad hoc ombudsman to ensure 'equal treatment under the
law' for everyone. We additionally announce that beginning late in 2009, we began working for the development of specific legislation which, when adopted, will initiate the process of eradicating the double-standards which seem to permeate our current social-justice system. On New Years Day we convened a meeting of thirteen civic-minded individuals, each known to us as having a unique area of expertise in the coalescing of a grass-roots legislative initiative. And we are pleased to say that now, roughly 90-days from inception, this collaborative group effort is producing tangible results. |
To this effect, these participants have taken
it upon themselves to work together as an independent legislative task force addressing
the medicinal use of cannabis which we see as a cornerstone issue in that
once clear regulatory policy is established regarding this practice, a
wide array of the drug-war-related issues that we are deeply concerned
about will be immediately resolved. At present, this task force is reviewing the elements of what will become a piece of model legislation,, to be submitted in accord of due process to the 2011 Arkansas General Assembly. As part of this process, during June (2010), The Committee, funded in part by Gozarks, conducted an independent research project on med-cannabis related issues, including conducting interviews with people in states where med-cannabis use is established by law.
