Dear Fresno County medical marijuana patients and supporters,

Safe Access Now, along with local medical cannabis patients, is currently lobbying the Fresno County Board of Supervisors to implement the statewide medical marijuana ID card program.

Participation in the program would be entirely voluntary for patients and their caregivers; however, the county is required by law to offer the cards to qualified residents.

Once the program is in place, patients and their caregivers will be able to obtain the ID cards through a confidential program administered by the Department of Health. The program works to protect cardholders from unnecessary arrest, detainment, or the seizure of medicine by state and local law enforcement.

In order for us to ensure that this vital program will be made available to Fresno County patients, we need your help!

If you are a resident of Fresno County, please take a few minutes to send an e-mail to the board of Supervisors urging their support for the local implementation of the ID card program.

After you have sent your e-mail, please forward this message on to as many other Fresno County residents who also support medical marijuana patients' rights.

Please do not take action unless you actually live in Fresno County. If you do not live there, you can help by forwarding this alert to any friends, family or coworkers who do.

With your support, total implementation of our state's compassionate medical marijuana laws will be a reality!

Sincerely,

Aaron Smith
