MEDICAL SHIPPING IN CALIFORNIA - AB 1332 - GOT VETOED BY THE GOVERNOR

MEDICAL PATIENT SHIPPING BILL AB 1332 GOVERNOR NEWSOM VETOED IT ON THE LAST DAY! Some numbers to consider: 100% YES votes in the Senate & Assembly Senators who voted YES: 39 Senators who voted NO: 0 Assemblymembers YES: 78 Assemblymembers NO: 0 ZERO OPPOSITION from any trade groups, & only formal Letters of Support, including the Society of Cannabis Clinicians & CalNorml The Governor's Veto Message said this program would be too expensive, let's look at the numbers. DCC said it would cost $472,000 per year to manage. There are approximately 4,000 seriously ill cannabis medical patients in California that this program would have served... that breaks down to: $118 per seriously ill medical patient is TOO EXPENSIVE. Also, the CA cannabis industry generated $539,000,000 in excise tax revenue in 2024. The cost of this program would have been 0.087% of the revenue generated by the cannabis industry - an industry created by the medical patient community. But the Governor stated that 0.087% of the $539million is too expensive to make sure our most vulnerable seriously ill medical patients have access to the medical products they need. Yet the Governor also signed a bill that allows hard alcohol to be shipped directly to customers homes in CA (AB-1246). This is heartbreaking. Even though the entire CA legislature unanimously voted YES, with zero opposition, the Governor vetoed it. And another head scratcher: In 2022, the Governor did sign The Medicinal Cannabis Patients’ Right of Access Act, which states: "It is the policy of the state & the intent of the Legislature to ensure that Californians throughout the state have timely & convenient access to safe, effective, & affordable medicinal cannabis." AB1332 would fulfill that promise! It's heartbreaking, that the very industry the medical patient community fought for & won cannabis freedom for us all, now is unwilling to fulfill the promise of access because 0.087% of the $539million in tax revenue is asking too much? What happened to the CA spirit of COMPASSION & CARE that paved the way for the legal cannabis industry? This is how we honor the medical patients' legacy? Is this who we are? :(
