We Want Homegrow In Washington



Thank you TK Ramsey for bringing this to my attention

Here is what Joy Beckerman (The Hemp Queen Of Washington) had to say about the Homegrow Bill moving through the WA Legislature right now:

WA STATE CALL TO ACTION ~ PLEASE SHARE WIDELY!: Please support HB 2629, a Marijuana Adult Home Grow & Share Bill.

You can comment on this bill by clicking on the link below and hitting the "Comment" button. It's quick, it's easy, and it's really super important to get involved and lend your voice of support. 

Our legislators don't know how we feel unless we tell them, and they want us to (they assume it's not important to us if they don't hear from us, and who could blame them?)! Giant gratitude to Rep. Brian Blakeand Jeanne Kohl-Welles for supporting this bill; and to the incredible team of activists that came together to help make it happen: Tk RamsayDawn DaringtonKevin OliverShawn DeNae,Vivian McPeakPatty PerkinsFarmer Tom LauermanCat JeterJedidiah HaneyPatrick MacKaySharon Whitson,John Novak, Barbara Sumner, Kirk Ludden, and no doubt others whom I will eventually feel terrible for neglecting to mention in this post.
