Support cannabis advocacy groups
Many state and local advocacy groups are fighting for the protection of rights of businesses and customers, decriminalization of cannabis, advancing cannabis reforms and supporting recognition of cannabis as a legal medicine1. These organizations provide necessary information to caregivers and patients, encourage clinical trials to discover/prove cannabis benefits and health effects.
Encourage law-makers to represent your interests

The best way is to contact all legislators at every level and provide them with relevant information and suggest essential changes and reforms2. The members of parliament, council members from your county or constituency are given the powers to represent your interests and protect your rights. Ask them for action or commitment to vote and inform them why it is important to push cannabis reform.
