Illinois’ Senate Public Health Committee will hold a hearing this Wednesday, March 5, on Senate Bill 2865 — which seeks to legalize medical cannabis.  If you live in Illinois, please take a moment to support this effort.

As introduced, SB 2865 and its House companion bill HB 5499, would allow state-authorized patients to possess up to 12 cannabis plants and 2.5 ounces of marijuana for therapeutic purposes.
