Dear Delegate_______,

Thank you for supporting Maryland children and the Most Vulnerable Patients through HB 0617. 

HB 0617 is critical for children who attend school in Maryland, are certified medical cannabis patients and need their medication at school, on the bus and/or during school sponsored activities. Further, the caregiver updates will improve access to medication not only for children but for adults who are unable to access dispensaries due to their disabilities.
