Petition updateLet More People in Illinois Legally Use Medical CannabisTake action against anti-marijuana censorship
Medical Cannabis Alliance of Illinois
Feb 25, 2016
We're still doing everything we can to open up access to medical cannabis for more patients in Illinois, as you and more than 20,000 other people have called for. In the meantime, we want to ask for your help on another important petition: http://change.org/FaceIt Did you know that Facebook has been actively censoring and deleting pages for marijuana businesses that are now legal in Illinois and 22 other states? Facebook positions itself as a forward-thinking company that makes the world a better place by helping people connect. But its anti-cannabis actions are tarnishing this image. Facebook says the marijuana pages violate the site's "community standards." But in reality these businesses provide seriously ill patients with a safe place to get the medicine they need. Cannabis dispensaries also create jobs for people raising families and generate tax revenue that's being used to help pay for education and healthcare. Facebook needs to catch up to the majority of voters who support legalization and stop letting itself be used to censor cannabis businesses on behalf of an outdated prohibitionist mindset. Please take a second to sign the new petition telling Facebook to do the right thing and reverse this backwards policy: http://change.org/FaceIt Thanks for all you do to help patients fight back against harmful anti-cannabis stigma.
